The FAR describes contractor team arrangements in two forms. In the first, two or more companies form a partnership or joint venture to act as the potential prime contractor 1. In the second, a potential prime contractor agrees with one or more other companies to have them act as its subcontractors 2.
The government will recognise the integrity and validity of contractor team arrangements, provided they are identified and the company relationships are fully disclosed 3.
Bids2Bank checks every teaming partner on a bid against SAM.gov and refuses the final approval while a partner is excluded 4.
