There are always risks in business, but that's what NDA's and Non-Compete contract clauses are for. It's a competitive landscape that's open to everyone, and you have to cover yourself legally to limit your exposure to, and potential damages caused by, scammy contractors/subcontractors. Beyond that, if someone were to abuse the collaborative comradery that I offer, they'd only have one chance to do it. That one bad experience would cause me to never work with them again. Their loss. There are always new contract opportunities becoming available that I will bid on. Some I'll win, and guess who will NOT be on my short list of subcontractors I'd call to offer a new earning opportunity? Not them. Play me, play yourself. But, on a more positive note, I'd love to help good contractors/subcontractors learn the process, and begin to seek and secure contracts of their own. If they win, great! Perhaps they will reciprocate good energy by offering worthwhile, profitable opportunities to me/my company subcontracting opportunities in return. Healthy competition can definitely be a win/win for everyone involved. Just food for though. :)
Most contracts have a subcontracting plan in place that's required by the government. If failed to abide by said FAR laws then the subcontractor would be sued and hold accountable by the government. It's listed on GSA website under subcontracting plan. Then, plus everyone is supposed to go through everify as well for a federal background check. I didn't watch the video so I'm not sure if he mentioned it or not.
Govt. dues not want to pay a lot. Bidding is so competitive, that it’s hard to make a buck forcmuddleman strategy. Most ports potty companies bud themsekves on these contracts and they win.
Government is on the city, state, and federal level. Most people just only talk about the federal side of things when a lot of micro contracts are available right in your own backyard. So start with your own city and state procurement/contract opportunities and go from there. It gets easier. Remember, calling to get more information is free. Find a contract, talk to the contracting officer, and get feedback on your proposals.
@merchant297 Look at the set aside on those solicitations. They're mainly for "small business." If the porta potty company wins, a small business might be the subcontractor, or that particular solicitation wasn't bid on properly or not at all. That type service needs to be done asap so they might contact a company directly to fulfill the requirement. The same scenario happens as well with other services, such as laundry.
I ca listen to Jason White all day
😮 my mind is blown!
What's to stop the subcontractor from trying to get these contracts themselves and cut you out of it?
Not understanding the process, not wanting to do the paperwork. A lot of businesses would much rather just do the work.

Do an entity search before contacting the sub. If they're not registered, they won't have enough time to respond to the opp. They'll need your help.

Try going after what everyone else isn't talking about.
