SubcontractWatch — Procurement advisory
What is your prime contractor actually buying — and who is selling it to them?
SubcontractWatch analyzes a federal prime contractor's actual procurement patterns and identifies the specific small businesses — by PSC code, congressional district, and certification — that should be in their supply chain.
What this is — and what it isn't
Federal prime contractors receiving contracts above $750,000 are required by FAR 52.219-9 to submit a subcontracting plan with specific goals for small business participation. Most do. Few have the analytical capacity to identify what they are actually buying that could be sourced from qualified small businesses in the districts where they work.
SubcontractWatch fills that gap. We analyze a prime contractor's contracts at the Product/Service Code level — the specific procurement classification that describes what is being bought, not just the broad industry category.
This is not a matchmaking platform. SAM.gov, SBA SUBNet, and dozens of other tools list small businesses and prime contractors in the same database and hope they find each other. That is a discovery problem, and it is already solved.
The unsolved problem is specificity: which contracts, under which PSC codes, performed in which congressional districts, represent the most actionable subcontracting opportunity for a qualified small business in that geography? SubcontractWatch answers that question with USASpending and SAM.gov data — not intuition.
How it works
Company profile Free
We pull three years of federal contract awards for a named prime contractor from USASpending.gov — total obligations, contracting agencies, NAICS work categories, and state-level performance geography. This is the teaser: it demonstrates that we know something about their federal footprint that they may not have assembled themselves.
PSC-level sample Free sample
One specific finding from the full report, provided at no charge. This is the "tell me something I don't know" answer — a specific PSC code on a specific contract, with one matched small business in the relevant congressional district. It proves the full report has actionable specificity.
Full matchmaking report Paid
The complete PSC breakdown for the prime's top contracts, matched against the SAM.gov small business registry by PSC code and congressional district. Includes firm name, UEI, CAGE, certification status (SDVOSB, 8(a), WOSB, HUBZone), and the specific contract that creates the subcontracting obligation. Delivered as a PDF and data file.
Monthly monitoring retainer Paid
Ongoing review of new contracts won and bids in progress, flagging subcontracting opportunities as they arise. Updated SAM.gov matching when registrations change. Quarterly summary for reporting to the contracting officer's subcontracting review.
