GOVERMENT CONTRACTING
Creating Partnerships
Prime contracting
Prime contractors work directly with the government. They manage any subcontractors and are responsible for ensuring that the work is completed as defined in the contract.
Subcontracting
Unlike prime contractors, subcontractors do not work directly with the government, but instead work for other contractors. This allows contractors that are not prepared to work directly with a federal agency to still participate in Federal procurements.
large businesses subcontract with a small business. This creates more opportunities for small businesses to get involved in federal contracting.
