Subcontracting Opportunities
Recognizing that small firms often do not have the capability to perform as a prime contractor on certain large contracts, DOT promotes the involvement of small business at the subcontract level. Special contract clauses which require the prime contractor to maximize small and minority business subcontracting opportunities are included in large DOT prime contracts in accordance with Public Law 95-507. Small and disadvantaged business firms are encouraged to identify their capabilities to major prime contractors. Information on prime contractors with approved subcontracting plans may be obtained from the OSDBU Direct Contracting and Financial Assistance Division.
