Government Contracting Blog

Frequently known as the “Amazon” of the government contracting world, GSA Advantage! is an important tool that government contractors use to publish their pricelist and market their approved GSA products. Within GSA Advantage!, you can find a wide variety of contractors who offer anything from printers and shredders to drones used to map the world. Federal agencies frequent this site because they can easily search for and order products within a few clicks, meaning it’s a crucial site for contractors to learn how to navigate.

While this move had been in the works for a while, the transition to subcontracting reporting in SAM has not been without a few bumps in the road as contractors navigate a brand-new system with a very different interface. In this blog, we’ll go over how to submit a Subcontracting Plan Report in SAM.gov.
