Small Business Accelerated Payment Subcontracting

Small businesses have a limited-time opportunity to engage in subcontracted work under the Department of Defense’s Small Business Accelerated Payment Subcontracting initiative, governed by FAR 52.232-40, which enables qualified small businesses to receive accelerated payments on defense contracts. This opportunity is specifically tied to NAICS code 332999 and is administered by DLA Fleet Readiness Center Southwest, part of the Defense Logistics Agency. The solicitation is open for a very brief window, with responses due just one day after posting, on July 31, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The contract type is subcontract, and while no specific set-aside classification is listed, the program is designed to prioritize small business participation through faster cash flow, supporting their ability to execute work efficiently. All interested parties must respond through the official DIBBS portal using the provided link to ensure proper submission and eligibility for the accelerated payment terms.
