You do not always have to begin as the prime contractor.
Subcontracting can help you:
• Build relevant performance history
• Learn the buyer environment
• Strengthen systems
• Develop relationships
• Reduce some acquisition burden
• Contribute a specialized capability
But approach prime contractors with value—not only a request for work.
Explain what gap you fill, what capacity you bring, where you operate, and why your company helps the
team become stronger.
