Simplifying Subcontracting: Clear Rules for Small Businesses
New rules aim to make it easier for small businesses to secure subcontracting opportunities from larger government contractors. They require subcontracting solicitations to be written in plain language, easily understandable by everyone. If a contractor fails to comply, they will have to re-solicit the subcontract clearly.
Key points
Larger companies bidding for government contracts must advertise subcontracting opportunities in clear, plain language.
Small businesses will have easier access to information about subcontracting opportunities, potentially increasing their chances of securing work.
Non-compliance with the plain language requirement will result in the contractor having to re-solicit the offer within 30 days.
