Prime Contractors Should Use SUB-Net to Post their Subcontracting Opportunities

Information by State  Print version

The U.S. Small Business Administration's Subcontracting Network (SUB-Net) at: http://web.sba.gov/subnet/ is the internet site where Prime Contractors post subcontracting opportunities. These may or may not be reserved for small business, and they may include either solicitations or other notices -- for example, notices of sources sought for teaming partners and subcontractors on future contracts. Small businesses can review this web site to identify opportunities in their areas of expertise. While the web site is designed primarily as a place for large businesses to post solicitations and notices, it is also used by state and local Governments, non-profit organizations, colleges and universities, and even foreign Governments for the same purpose.

There is no charge to register or post opportunities to SUB-Net.

The use of SUB-Net fulfills the function set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.206, Notice of Subcontracting Opportunities, for contractors and subcontractors to post notices and thereby increase competition for subcontracts.
