Teaming agreement
Contractor team arrangement
A teaming agreement is an arrangement in which companies agree to pursue a specific opportunity together — typically a prime and its intended subcontractors, or a joint venture — defining roles and workshare before the proposal is submitted.
What it is
The FAR recognizes contractor team arrangements: either a potential prime agreeing with intended subs to bid a program, or two firms forming a partnership or joint venture to act as the prime. The agreement sets each party's scope and workshare.
Why it exists
It lets firms combine complementary capabilities and past performance to pursue work none could win alone, and it gives the customer a stronger, integrated team.
Who it applies to
Primes and specialty subcontractors assembling a capture team — the teaming agreement is where a specialist locks in its role and scope on a pursuit.
