Federal Subcontracting Strategy Toolkit

A fillable workbook that helps advisors guide clients through the decisions behind federal subcontracting.

When a business wants to pursue subcontracting, the first question is often where it fits. What work can it credibly perform? Which prime contractors are worth approaching? Does it have the capacity to deliver? The Federal Subcontracting Strategy Workbook gives advisors a structured way to work through those questions with clients, in individual meetings or facilitated training.

The workbook also supports businesses that hire subcontractors. Each audience follows its own path, with worksheets, readiness scorecards, and a 90-day action plan.

Two paths through the workbook

For subcontractors: Define your role, identify suitable prime contractors, evaluate opportunities before committing, and examine your capacity to perform.

For primes: Evaluate potential subcontractors, document due diligence, and track credentials and performance.

What’s included

• A fillable PDF booklet you can complete on screen or print
