You are hands down, the best in explaining al this hard to understand world of gov con. Where others create confusion, you bring clarity. BIG THANKS
Thanks! I do this because there are so many scammers out there charging people for information that should be free! I'm trying to get this free info out to as many people as possible. Thanks for watching!
I agree, you are a great teacher. Other videos I have found have been very vague with the information for those just starting out. Thank you!
@@FedAccessHello I have a question? What if your a tech software salesperson, can we sell our company software as a subcontractor even if we don’t own the company we are just the sale person
I been watching gov con videos for 3 days and today I reached a point where I needed to understand the subcontract and prime definitions, and now I I’m watching this video before bed, it came right on time,, thank you so much 😊
I really like the way you breakdown information. The best I've seen so far
Thank you! I wanted to break it down and answer all the questions in one place so people would not have to search from video to video to piece the information together. I'm glad it was helpful!
@FedAccess do you do coaching and mentoring for new businesses?
@@FedAccess do you host classes for subcontracting ?
I have a detailed video on subcontracting, watch it here: ruclips.net/video/tNbHlX9n0sE/видео.html
Hello! I’m a new business owner branching out for cleaning Govt contracts. I found your information very helpful. It’s definitely a lot to learn! Have a great day.
THX...SOUTH FLORIDA RON...JUST STARTING...WAITING ON REGISTRATION TO GO THRU 🎉
my new favorite youtube channel, very clear an concise
You are awesome,Love the way you breakdown your information. I'm locked in.
Based on the article from the law firm you referenced it seems one of the main exceptions to the Limitations on Subcontracting rule is where the article comments, “Additionally, if the small business prime contractor subcontracts to a “similarly situated entity,” it can actually count towards the prime contractor’s required performance and is considered not to be subcontracted for purposes of the rule.” I take this to mean that I do not need to hire employees if I find other small businesses who can handle the work and I would handle the administrative side of things.
Sounds like you have a great handle on things: you understand that you are the manager responsible for the contract. I think of it like a General Contractor who subcontracts out the plumbing, electrical, etc., but the General Contractor is still managing the project.
Thank you so much for you unconditional love to humanity thru teaching! ❤️ can u do a video on expanding more on consulting with a prime/companies what paperwork is needed how to present etc anything someone new to this space needs to know.
Hello first of all, i'd like to say you are without a doubt. The best teacher on Government contracting that I've heard as of, yet you are honest and. Just and speak as though you just want people to have the hidden knowledge. That so many of us struggle with. My question is how to properly read and respond to a solicitation on sources sought step-by-step. As you know, these solicitations are different my company needs a leg up.
Thanks for reaching out. This video will show you how to respond to a solicitation: ruclips.net/video/ROukOlpuw6U/видео.html And this video covers Sources Sought: ruclips.net/video/-4-D5jXGAB8/видео.html
You’re, the absolute best. I love your voice and your explanations. Soooooooooo, helpful!❤❤❤
Thank you for breaking these terms down as well, and this walk through is exactly what I was looking for!
This was a good way to start the morning, appreciate all the work you put into your videos. :)
wow your voice is so calm and you explain its so well. Thank you for sharing
Thanks, your videos have helped tremendously. I just resigned from Veterans Affairs and
I’m pursuing government contracting in the healthcare space.
Although I have a lot of experience in this space. Previously owning and operating a home healthcare and staffing firm.
Navigating this process isn’t easy. I’ve been listening to your videos for six months as I prepared to resign.
You're right, there is a lot to learn, but it sounds like you've got the tools for success! Let me know if you have questions. Anything you'd like me to cover in a future video?
When say you are what I prayed for! Thank you very much and many blessings!
Hands down you are the BEST!!!!!! Thank you for sharing this information in bitable pieces!!!! I’m definitely sharing this information with friends, family and upcoming teams and partners!!!! I’m a Lifetime fan and subscriber moving forward 🎉🎉🎉!!!!
Thank you! I'm so glad the information I provide is helpful!
Thank you so much for making the video upon my request, thanks again!
Thank you so much for your details informative contents. I am a small business owner who’s looking to get started within the government contracting space. While I do my own researches on my spare time your videos have been tremendous help provident diffère strategies to new comers who might not necessarily be aware of the existence of the strategies that you talked about.
Thank you
Excellent!! Professional!!! To the point. Thank you.
This is such a good breakdown ! Such a pity it isn’t for the UK 😢😢, for me
Facts! Have you figured out the difference between how they subcontract in the US and in the UK?
It is really weird. I did it, looking for Miami Dade county and it shows a list of "Multiple recepients" without Start or End date. What would it mean? Infinite contracts? Your video is superhelpful as usual!
It's absolutely amazing 🎉🎉🎉. Thank you so much for taking the time to break this down. ❤️ Looking forward to what else you offer.❤
You are truly a blessing
I was just researching the topic. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for sharing you are an angel sent to help humanity
👏..excellent presentation.. 👌
As always, great information.
Hello!
Amazing material, I'm more than confident on these topics thanks to your material, huge thanks.
I have one question, can we source goods from a foreign country with trade agreements in the US such as Mexico?
Where can I find more information regarding the origin of procured goods?
Thanks again from a new subscriber!
Check out the Buy America Act and carefully read the solicitation so that you understand the requirements for the contract that you are bidding on.
Great video !!! Very in-depth
So if the only set aside on the solicitation is for Total Small business as long as the subcontractor is also a total small business, under similar situation, they can perform 100% of the work regardless of contract value?
Great info❤straight to the point no fluff! Quick question, if I’m a subcontractor under a prime, you’re saying I can re-subcontract out the work to another small business?
Read the solicitation! My contacts usually had consent to subcontract clauses, meaning, I had to get approval if I wanted to subcontract. Subcontracting happens a lot in this industry, but you want to follow the rules and be transparent about what you're doing
@@FedAccess Wouldn’t that have been the primes job to read it when they won it? Or will subcontractors have access to the solicitation even though they didn’t win. And I would be getting approval from the prime or CO? Thanks again❤️
I'm referring to the RFP from the Prime. The Prime will issue an RFP and you respond to it. As a subcontractor, you'll be dealing with the contacting office of the Prime (you won't be dealing with the government contacting office)
@@FedAccess Oh okay!! I didn’t know large primes put out RFP’s to acquire subs. Makes sense now. Thanks
Hi, good morning. Great information. Thank you for sharing. Thumbs up. 👍
Thank you for the videos
Thanks Again for another Great Video....But what Exactly do I say to a Subcontractor?
Can subcontractors, be consultants as we navigate the middleman space?
When you hire a subcontractor, it just means you're hiring a company to do some piece of work. That could be an individual consultant or a large business.
What clauses should i look for in regard to limtiations on subcontraacts and the SAT. if the soliciation does not have anything on this am I okay to subcontract out the physical labor ?
I thought this was AI the sound of the voice makes me so tired but it's still good content 😂
God bless you
Question: I am SDVOB and I am looking at a VA set aside for the same. It’s for tree removal. Can I subcontract out the work 100% if it’s under the SAP of 250k?
The rules that apply to the contract you are bidding on are specified in the solicitation for that contract. Please carefully read the solicitation to understand what rules apply to your contract. Also, even if you were to hire someone to remove the tree, i don't think you would be subcontracting out 100% of the contract because you would still be performing management oversite and contract administration. You are responsible for managing the work and administering the contract; i wouldn't subcontract out that piece of it.
@@FedAccess TY...have a great day
Question. Can i have 2 big construction company under sam gov? Like do joint venture with multiple?
Correct me if I'm wrong; Professional services is 50 percent, construction is 15 percent(excluding cost of materials) and supplies is 50 percent. This does not apply to contracts under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of 250K. This does not apply to contracts that are not set-aside for small business. Similarly situated is when the subcontractor is a small business and also matches the set-aside that the contract was awarded under. Similarly situated entities can perform 100 percent of the work (i.e. primed awarded a WOSB contract, then subs 100 to another WOSB)
What does the solicitation you are bidding on say? Does it contain a Limitations on Subcontracting clause? Does it contain a consent to subcontract clause? look to the solicitation to understand the rules that apply to the particular contract that you are bidding on.
@FedAccess understood. So when it comes to subcontracting, it sounds like it depends on each solicitation. So it's a case by case basis, correct?
@@ericc.5460 There are so many different kinds of government contracts, and each has its own rules. So you really have to look at the particular rules that apply to the particular contract that you are bidding on. The good news is, you could apply for five contracts for the same thing and they all could be the same type of contract with the same rules. So, you would become expert in the rules that apply for that type of contract. But please, exercise caution when listening to advice because unless they know specifically what contract you are bidding on, they won't know exactly what rules apply to your contract.
@FedAccess Thank you very much!!! Thank you for your response! Your channel and responsiveness are second to none! You saved me $3,000 on a course about federal contracting, LOL. You are a God sent! The good krama you're going to receive is going to be super abundant! Many blessings to you!
If the code Im registered as is for contracting and fencing, can i get into subcontracting too?
Wow! I've learned more from your videos than I acquired in my entire academic life 😮😮
facts
Please I have a few questions- what is the penalty if you’re awarded a contract that you were not able to fulfill- is there a fine? And if so how much is it?. Also are they ways to resolve the issue if you’re not able to complete the contract?.Thanks very much
It's called a Termination for Default and it's a very bad thing. You can google it.
So if you ONLY get a sub-contractor(same size company as mine, small) and they bid the job lets say 50k. I submit the bid to the government, add my fee(what would that fee be or what can it be, 5k?) The government will pay me the 50k then I get my 5k....confused exchange of monies part
You submit Your bid to the government. If you bid $60k and are awarded the contract, then you'll be paid $60k after you fully successfully complete the contract. Be sure to carefully read the payment provisions that apply to your contract, because they differ for different types of contracts.
Once I figure out what NACICO code to use for my company( middle man) how will I apply for the contract if my NACICO isn’t what the contract is accepting.
You mentioned on the SF-1449 in section 10 the government will list the accepted NACICO code. My business code won’t match because I’m finding contracts in different areas and 100 percent subcontracting the work out.
Please help!
You can update your SAM registration to add NAICS codes. I recommend adding the NAICS codes to your SAM registration for the contracts that you are bidding on.
Subcontracting vs Source Sought.
Thank you so much for taking the time and energy, to break down Subcontracting. I have a few classifications, Service-connected disable veteran female minority. I learned that it may mean something after, I get my Cage Code and complete the excruciating process. I'm new to Government Contracting but, have my eye on a source sought contract for a lot of Fuel. From your video on RUclips regarding source's sought, it doesn't seem like I will need a CAGE CODE, I have question for the Subcontractor, regarding pricing and a discount. This discount, will count as my COME UP, JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW TO KEEP IN MY COMPANIES POT. From watching your training, I'm able to put together my questions, to ask the seller and the buyer. I will follow your instruction on the cover of the proposal and answer each question as you suggested. Subcontracting vs Source Sought. It appears to be a situation where, I would have to allow one of the two large company, who said they can provide the Millions of gallons of fuel, will have to be the Prime. So how do I get paid? How do I know I can trust them not to go around me. Will my UEI without the CAGE Code be enough to make sure I get paid while setting the Gov up to get what they want. Thank you again you are great and very much appreciated. Stay Blessed and Safe. Denise
Hi what about becoming an Independent Contractor for a Prime Contractor ? Would
That be the same
Yes, an independent contractor is a subcontractor
Thank you for replying
Hi,
I am starting a business where I00 percent subcontract out the work. I’m not looking for work under any one filed. I’m open to winning laundry service contracts, transportation contracts, pumping..etc. What would the NACICO code be registered under?
I just registered a Tech company (LLC) and wish to at least for now run as a subcontractor. I love your video but I am not quite clear if you explain how or where I can register my details for Prime contractors to find me.
Best practice is to contact each individual Prime Contractor directly. For example, lots of Primes have their own vendor registration systems.
Our company is bidding on IDIQ Haleu contract for which we are likely to subcontract about 60% of work to a sub for construction of manufacturing plan. Subcontractor rates are a lot higher than our internal rates. What is the best strategy to provide the rates for the next 10 years? Is it better to provide table that lists internal rates and a table that listed subs rates or come up with a table with blended rates for each labor category and escalate for 10 years? My worry is getting disqualified due to rates being too high. Is this something you can provide your recommendation on? Would highly appreciate any insight. Thank you in advance
Great question. Here's how i always handled this. When creating my list of labor categories, i would always include a few labor categories with high billing rates. That way, I'd have a place to put high-priced subcontractors if they were needed for a particular task order.
good morning, my question is about simplified acquisition threshold, if i win a contract with 170k first year, and the same for next three years , that's total of 480k for four years , did i exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, or its based on each year separately ? Thank you .
That's not something you need to worry about. Simplified acquisitions refers to the procedures the government uses to procure the contract. The contract will specify the contract value. That's the number you need to pay attention to. As always, read the solicitation, it will tell you the rules that apply in your particular case.
If there is no set aside . Me as the the prime I’m the only person in my company can I sub a contract I one to landscapers who’s re using four people a day . I’m only doing the admin , scheduling and quality control . Would that be pass through ?
Typically there are no subcontracting limits on unrestricted procurements, but in certain cases there are. You'll find the answer for your particular case in the solicitation for the contract.
I need help finding a subcontract for my accounting and tax services business. Thanks 🙏
Pretty much all government contractors need accounting support. There are unique accounting requirements for government contractors
Are there subcontractors out there that do software Testing? I have done this before but I dont know if I can scale it to like millions?
Get the naics code for it, and if that’s what you do then you can travel around and complete the work
I do have a question if you do not
mind blessing me with your expertise. So l am a middle man how can I or what is the best approach to submit a capability statement using the company that I am thinking to give the work for? Shall I put all their past performance as if it is mine or I have to mention that I am a subcontractor and this statement is for my contracted company?.. or there is a better way? Thanks
You can have a Capability Statement for a Team. When i've seen it done, often they'll include the logo for each company to show the team members.
I’m interested in becoming the middle man, what NACICO are you labeling your company?
@@kemiahcarter6476 if you do the middle man method it depends on the solicitation and for my gov contract journey I joined Wes fisher 5 day challenge and also FCG simplified had a 5 day challenge they help with the middle man method from start to finish
@@kemiahcarter6476 also govkid method and jay white is other good RUclipsrs that focus on middle man gov contacting
Aloha, I do a few Subcon for GCs that are already as established with DOD. However, I would like to your cost to do a one-on-one to help get me started on either applying for fed contracts or Subcon. Please let me know.
I suggest you get started by watching my entire course. No need to pay to get started! The course will teach you what you need to know to get started. Find it here: ruclips.net/p/PLsPU_DAGB86_va5G7RmM6r1ZyuhxpYaGN
one more thing , the link for the Facebook group isn't working ,thanks .

Hey is this video and your free course enough to go at it for government contracts and make it work. I'm searching for a course because I want to specifically do subcontracting but all the courses are to expensive. would what you have on youtube here be enough, to learn subcontracting specifically.
I know lots of government contractors who don't know all the stuff in my course! So yes, my course covers what you need to know to start winning government contracts
@@FedAccess I meant to say for the subcontracting portion. I am brand new and am not interested in having staff I would rather just learn how to subcontract correctly and legally. so in that case is this course all i would have to know about how to start subcontracting?
Whose to say they will do it again, when they can avoid other people?
So where does one find the primes? How can we network with them?
You can do a search to find the companies that have won contracts. This video shows how: ruclips.net/video/_tbgSFpIzas/видео.html
Hello,
I’m a Prime contractor, please email me at Kemiahc@yahoo.com. Let’s network
What about aptc do they help you with contracts..
Yes! I recommend everyone contact their local PTAC!
Great info. A-I generated?
Nope. I'm human, not AI
so generally speaking , if my company is a small business set aside and my subcontractor is a small business set a side, i can legally let them do 100% of the work ?
Is this channel and the speaker made by AI?
Absolutely not!
What's your email address? I have some questions about SDVOSB restrictions.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

What?
Is this an AI video?
No
This is probably a no hype video and just realistic and boring hard work
will you marry me
Oh, you forgot that the contractors had to be buddies with the government and need to “grease” some palms!👍🏻👍🏻
Maybe a Trip to Jamacia?
Hi!!
What do I do if the company I am looking to subcontract is a bigger company that doesn’t provide past performance with contact information due to a strict cadence with quotes
GREAT VIDEO. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CHANNEL.
I came across your videos and these are absolutely amazing in helping navigate the Government Contracting space. I'm currently a single-member subcontractor but looking to grow and your explanations are extremely helpful. Thanks a ton for putting this content together!
How’s the govt contracting space been for you so far. I’m also new in the space
Do subcontractors need to be registered in SAM?
There may be some cases where they do, but typically, no
Love your content!
You really should consider writing a book outlining from cradle to grave for government contracting. I’d definitely buy it. I and many others are more of a reader than video. Albeit, I’ve learned so much from your videos.
I appreciate your helpful suggestion ❤️
