Federal subcontractor database for prime contractors

A federal subcontractor database helps prime contractors find and document outreach to qualified small businesses for small business subcontracting plans under FAR 52.219-9. It filters to SAM.gov ACTIVE registrations, tags HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB, and 8(a) categories, and ties search results to each contract requirement (PIID) — not one-off vendor lookups.

Commercial subcontractor databases (construction prequalification, state contractor registries, GC invitation-to-bid tools) optimize for licensed trades and project bidding. Federal primes need SBS-style certification data plus requirement context, outreach logs, and good-faith-effort documentation.

• UEI & ACTIVE status — expired SAM.gov registrations excluded from match results.
• Socio-economic tags — HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB, 8(a), and small business status aligned to FAR 52.219-9 categories.
• NAICS alignment — search and rank by the NAICS codes on each subcontract requirement.
• Requirement context — tie matches to a PIID and subcontracting goal, not a one-time export.
• Outreach evidence — log solicitations for good-faith effort when category goals are not fully met.

1. Upload or paste solicitation text — Requirement Assist extracts draft PIID, NAICS, and goal percentages (see sample extraction).
2. Rank ACTIVE small businesses by NAICS, certification category, and keywords.
3. Solicit through SamMatch or log external outreach for your good-faith effort file.
4. Track category progress per PIID ahead of ISR/SSR reporting in SAM.gov.

Subcontracts managers, small business liaison officers (SBLOs), and compliance leads at federal prime contractors who already maintain subcontracting plans and need to fill socio-economic gaps across multiple contracts — without manually reconciling SBS exports against SAM.gov every quarter.
