Government contracting is a $700+ billion industry, and small businesses are entitled to a fair slice of that pie. In FY 2023, they received over $
160 billion, exceeding federal goals in several categories.
But landing a government contract isn’t easy. That’s where FB Partners—also known as a prime contractor or broker—come in. Firms like ours bid on contracts, then subcontract portions to small businesses with specialized skills. This allows small firms to:
Access larger contracts they couldn’t win alone
Focus on their core work while the prime handles compliance
Build past performance for future bids
For example, a small cybersecurity firm might get $2 million of work under a $10 million federal contract managed by a prime.
Federal rules like FAR 52.219-14 ensure small businesses do real work—not just act as pass-throughs. Done right, these partnerships help small businesses grow while keeping taxpayer dollars working efficiently.
