SUBCONTRACTING PLAN

PUBLIC LAW 95-507

ATTACHMENT 1

RCA officially created a Minority Business Enterprise Program in 1970. It is managed by the Director of Government Procurement Programs (a Corporate Staff position) who serves as the Corporate Minority and Small Business Liaison Officer.

Each RCA Division and business operating unit has a minority and small business coordinator who administrates the local programs within the Corporate framework and guidelines (RCA Corporate Policy 22109 and Purchasing Instruction C-12007, and integral part of the Corporate Purchasing Manual.) (Copies Attached)

To further ensure an innovative and productive program, a nine-member RCA Minority Business Advisory Group was created. It is comprised of three Corporate Executives and six Divisional Purchasing Executives who meet three times a year to:

(1) Review and establish policy;

(2)

Submit suggestions which may improve performance;

(3)

Develop promotional and award programs; and
Review and develop goals.

The committee also assigns a business goal to each division and business unit purchasing activity. These goals are monitored (on a monthly basis) at the corporate level to ensure that the established goals and objectives are met.

To further ensure the desired results, RCA is a National Member of the National Minority Purchasing Council. The Minority and Small Business Coordinator is a member of the Regional Minority Purchasing Councils located in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Los Angeles and Harrisburg. The RCA Corporate Small and Minority Business Liaison Officer is a member of NMPC's Executive Board and Board of Directors.

RCA's system has consistently produced an increase in the amount of business annually done with Small and Minority Businesses.
