Subcontractor Management & Small Business Outreach

The contract seeks a partner to support the prime contractor in achieving targeted subcontracting goals for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned businesses, with a focus on fostering inclusive procurement practices under the Department of Veterans Affairs. The work involves proactive outreach, relationship building, and administrative support to help identify, engage, and integrate eligible small businesses into the project’s supply chain, ensuring compliance with federal subcontracting objectives and promoting economic opportunity for underrepresented business owners. The effort is centered in Frederick, Maryland, and will require coordination with VA initiatives to align with broader agency diversity and inclusion mandates. The solicitation is open for responses until August 7, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 541611, which corresponds to management consulting services. While no set-aside designation is specified, the emphasis on veteran-owned and disadvantaged businesses suggests a strong preference for vendors with demonstrated experience in small business engagement and compliance with federal subcontracting reporting requirements. Contractors are expected to deliver measurable outcomes that contribute directly to the prime’s fulfillment of its small business participation targets, requiring robust tracking, reporting, and communication capabilities. The opportunity is managed by the Sac Frederick office and is accessible through the SAM.gov portal.
