Navigating federal contracting complexities is a challenge, and subcontracting on federal jobs adds an extra layer of intricacy. In this field, federal subcontracts must not only align the interests of the prime and subcontractor but also adhere to the strict demands of the heavily-regulated end user—the Federal government. Successfully managing this dual responsibility involves meticulous attention to detail, strategic problem-solving, and a comprehensive understanding of the governing law. Balancing the prime contractor’s need to protect themselves and the subcontractor’s goal of securing remedies requires addressing tensions during the subcontract drafting process.
