Subcontracting Plan Reporting in SAM

The Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS.gov) retired in February 2026. All  Subcontracting reporting capabilities are now available in SAM.gov.

The Latest

• Subcontracting Plan Reporting system issues resolved

GSA deployed updates to SAM.gov to resolve known issues with the Subcontracting Plan Reporting system. Contractor users should review their Workspaces to ensure they can successfully create and submit their Individual Subcontracting Reports (ISR). Mid-year ISRs are due July 14, 2026. Please refer to the SBA memo FY2026 Mid-Year Subcontract Plan Reporting Extension for additional details.

Fixes to resolve missing contracts (Contract Retrieval Issue) in the eligible records logic:

• Removed the IDV “Last Date to Order” condition
• Removed the Award “Completion Date” condition
• Added three “Subcontract Plan” values:
  • Plan Required - Incentive Included
  • Plan Required - Incentive Not Included
  • Plan Required (Pre 2004)

Fixes to resolve ISR errors:

• Converted the following errors into warnings:
  • The Total Whole Dollars for Goals must not be more than the "Total Dollars" for the selected prime Contract on the "Report Details" page.
  • The Cumulative Actual Dollars must not be more than twice the Goals Whole Dollars. 

Additional changes:
ISR

• Removal of eligible records from the Workspace, if Final ISRs exist.
• To allow Part 8 BPA Call reporting:
  • Updated Task Order labels.
  • Added  instructions to the Task Order table.

SSR

• Implemented “Validate Remarks” on the SSR-Individual report.
• Converted this error into a warning on the SSR-Commercial report: Dollars Percentage Attributable to the <Code - Department Name> is over 50%.

If you have any questions, please contact the help desk at FSD.gov.

Recent Updates

• For Contractors: AI Review of “Remarks” during the ISR/SSR data entry.

The "Validate Remarks" feature on the ISR and SSR data entry forms uses an AI mechanism to review contractor-submitted Goals, Actuals, and Remarks. Subsequently, it provides feedback, including Strengths, Weaknesses, Potential Improvements, and Suggestions.

This functionality saves review time and effort. The reports still require monitoring for compliance with the Subcontracting Plan and for anomalies, discrepancies, and errors. See your agency-specific guidance on monitoring responsibilities.
