Book DemoFrequently Asked Questions About Federal Subcontracting Opportunities
Federal subcontracting opportunities are openings for small businesses to work as subcontractors on government contracts won by prime contractors. These include direct requests from primes on platforms like SBA, GSA, as well as inferred opportunities from contracts requiring small business subcontracting plans per FAR 52.219-9.
FAR 52.219-9 is the federal regulation that requires prime contractors on contracts exceeding certain dollar thresholds to include small business subcontracting plans. This creates mandatory opportunities for small businesses, as primes must demonstrate how they will include small business subcontractors in their contract performance.
High confidence opportunities are direct subcontracting requests posted by prime contractors actively seeking subcontractors. Medium and low confidence opportunities are inferred from contracts won by primes who are obligated to subcontract per FAR 52.219-9, but haven't yet posted specific subcontracting requests.
SamSearch provides advanced filtering capabilities allowing you to search by geographic location, contract dates, NAICS codes, contract values, confidence levels, and specific agencies or prime contractors. This helps you find opportunities that match your capabilities and business focus.
We provide direct contact information for prime contractors including key personnel, procurement contacts, and project managers involved in subcontracting decisions. This makes outreach straightforward and helps you build relationships with decision makers.
SamSearch aggregates subcontracting opportunities from SBA (Small Business Administration), GSA (General Services Administration), and inferred opportunities from all federal agencies where contracts require small business subcontracting plans under FAR 52.219-9.
Most federal subcontracting opportunities are targeted toward small businesses with relevant NAICS codes and capabilities. You may need small business certifications (8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB) for certain set-aside opportunities, and should have appropriate past performance and technical capabilities.
Prime contractors win contracts directly from the government and are responsible for overall contract performance. Subcontractors work under prime contractors to perform specific portions of the work. Subcontracting often provides easier entry into government contracting with less administrative burden and smaller contract values.
New subcontracting opportunities are added continuously as prime contractors post 60,000+ requests and as 60,000+ contracts are awarded that require small business subcontracting plans. The database is updated regularly to ensure you have access to the latest opportunities.
Subcontracting opportunities span all industries including IT services, professional services, construction, healthcare, cybersecurity, engineering, research and development, logistics, facilities management, training, manufacturing, and specialized government services across civilian and defense sectors.
