Step by step guide to Subcontracting

Building a Target Prime prospecting list for federal subcontracting is about identifying large contractors already winning work in your space, validating that they actively use subcontractors, and aligning them with your capabilities. By leveraging sources like SAM.gov, USAspending.gov, and SBA Subcontracting Directory, you can systematically find, qualify, and prioritize primes that are most likely to partner with you. The end result is a focused, data-driven list of high-value teaming targets rather than a broad, unfocused outreach effort. Start building your list today: pull your top 2–3 NAICS codes, identify 20 primes from USAspending.gov, and create your first A/B/C priority list. If you want a faster path, Neybor Consulting can help you generate a customized Target Prime list based on your capabilities and target agencies—just share your NAICS codes and services.
