For large and small contractors alike, teaming agreements are often essential to winning and successfully performing federal government contracts. Many agencies are (increasingly) requiring teaming agreements for a prime contractor to rely on subcontractor experience, qualifications, or resources.

So, it is beneficial to know some of the “basics” of teaming agreements: what they are, why you should have one, and what should be included.
