Work under the primes that already hold the contracts
Large prime contractors hold much of the federal work, and many must give part of it to small businesses under a subcontracting plan. Here are the companies holding federal electrical contracts in Maine, the ones required to subcontract first, with when their next contract ends.

1 active contract · $50K · Department of the Interior

How to approach a prime
- Register in the prime's supplier portal: search the company name with "supplier diversity" or "small business program".
- Send your capability statement to their small business liaison, naming the contract or agency you can support.
- Time it: 3 to 12 months before a contract ends is when primes line up teammates for the rebid.
- Follow up when the rebid is posted, and watch subcontracting postings on the subcontracting board.
