GovCon Teaming & Subcontracting Playbook: Win Federal Work Through Primes — Without Bidding Prime Yourself

The companion to the SDVOSB GovCon Course. Seven plain-English modules and five fill-in templates on teaming agreements, joint ventures, the SBA Mentor-Protégé Program, pitching primes, and subcontracting compliance — the subcontracting lane, covered end to end.

What's inside

• 7 text-based course modules: why teaming, teaming agreements, joint ventures, the SBA All Small Mentor-Protégé Program, finding and pitching primes, subcontracting plans and compliance, capability briefs for primes
• 5 fill-in-the-blank kit templates: teaming agreement checklist, JV compliance checklist, prime outreach email templates, subcontracting plan outline, past-performance one-pager template
• Every module ends with one concrete action step — no theory without a next move
• Regulatory specifics verified against the FAR and 13 CFR; anything uncertain is flagged, never guessed

What you'll be able to do

• Stop paying to lose bids you were never going to win. Learn exactly when subcontracting beats prime bidding for a small firm — so your limited bid budget goes where it can actually pay off.
• Read a teaming agreement like someone who's been burned before. Every clause that matters — exclusivity, workshare language, IP, exit terms — in plain English, with a checklist to take to your attorney.
• Understand joint ventures without the law-degree requirement. How JV arrangements work for set-aside eligibility at a high level, what the SBA Mentor-Protégé Program actually offers, and where the fine print lives.
• Pitch primes like an insider. Where to find them, what capture managers actually want to see, and four outreach email templates — plus the one-page capability brief format that gets you remembered.
• Know what flows down to you. Subcontracting plans explained, the current FAR thresholds, and the compliance basics that keep a subcontract from becoming a surprise.

Who it's for

Small federal contractors — especially SDVOSBs — who want federal revenue through primes and teaming partners rather than (or alongside) direct prime bidding. Graduates of the SDVOSB GovCon Course who want the subcontracting lane covered with the same depth as the prime-bidding lane.

Who it's NOT for

Anyone looking for guaranteed contracts or a shortcut around the rules. Firms that only want to bid prime and have no interest in teaming — the companion course already covers your lane.

$249 — one-time payment. Yours to keep, including future updates to the templates. The natural second purchase after the $397 SDVOSB GovCon Course.

FAQ

I already bought the SDVOSB GovCon Course. Do I need this?
That course covers certification, SAM.gov, and bidding prime. This playbook covers the other lane — teaming agreements, joint ventures, the Mentor-Protégé Program, pitching primes, and subcontracting compliance. No overlap by design.

Will this guarantee me subcontract work?
No — and anyone who promises that is lying to you. This playbook teaches you how the teaming and subcontracting world actually works so you can compete in it intelligently.

Is this legal advice?
No. It's educational information based on public federal sources (FAR, 13 CFR). Teaming agreements, JV agreements, and subcontracts are binding legal documents — have a federal contracts attorney review yours before you sign.

I'm not an SDVOSB. Is this still for me?
Yes. Teaming, subcontracting, and the Mentor-Protégé Program apply to all small businesses. The SDVOSB angles are noted where relevant, but nothing here is SDVOSB-only.

What format is the playbook?
Text-based modules and markdown templates you can read on any device, at your own pace — plus print-ready PDFs of the full course and the full kit.
