Know the risks before you bid, sign, or commit.
SubPreCheck gives federal subcontractors a structured first-pass review of prime-provided packages — surfacing payment, scope, flowdown, compliance, and missing-document issues before the package reaches counsel.
Prime Package Risk Review
Pre-Commitment Scan
Upload your subcontract, teaming agreement, SOW, flowdowns, exhibits, or bid package. SubPreCheck surfaces common risk areas before you commit and organizes the issues for discussion with the prime or counsel.
Catch subcontract risk while you still have leverage.
Once the prime submits the bid or receives the award, subcontract terms can become harder to renegotiate. SubPreCheck helps contractors identify missing information, unclear obligations, and risk-heavy terms before they commit pricing, labor, equipment, bonding, insurance, or performance capacity.
Where are you in the prime-sub process?
Before bid, award, or signature
Use SubPreCheck before you commit to a prime's subcontract terms, teaming terms, scope, flowdowns, pricing assumptions, or compliance obligations.
- Draft subcontract packages
- Teaming agreements & LOIs
- Prime-provided SOWs
- Flowdown attachments
- Bid packages with future terms
- Missing exhibits or documents
Already received or signed a subcontract?
If you already moved forward without a structured review, SubPreCheck can still help identify risk areas, missing documents, unclear obligations, and questions to raise with the prime or legal counsel.
How SubPreCheck Works
Upload the prime-provided package
Upload the draft subcontract, teaming agreement, SOW, flowdowns, exhibits, or bid documents provided by the prime contractor.
SubPreCheck runs an initial risk review
The system flags common risk areas including payment timing, vague work scope, missing documents, flowdown exposure, and change-order risk.
Send focused questions back to the prime
Use the report to request missing documents, clarify obligations, and ask for revisions before you commit or send the package to counsel.
Send the cleaner package to your attorney
After the prime responds, send the revised package to qualified legal counsel so attorney time can focus on the legal questions that require legal judgment.
What SubPreCheck Flags
SubPreCheck reviews the package for common government subcontract risk areas that can affect payment, scope, compliance, liability, and negotiation leverage.
Payment Traps
Pay-when-paid language, delayed payment timing, retainage, setoff rights, or unclear invoice approval rules.
Missing Documents
Referenced exhibits, flowdowns, wage determinations, cybersecurity terms, SOWs, or prime contract attachments that were not provided.
Vague Scope of Work
Unclear deliverables, undefined acceptance standards, open-ended support duties, or mismatched SOW language.
Flowdown Exposure
Federal clauses, FAR/DFARS obligations, prime contract terms, or compliance duties passed down without enough context.
Liability & Indemnity
Broad indemnity, uncapped liability, insurance mismatch, or responsibility for issues outside your control.
Schedule & Change Risk
Unclear period of performance, unilateral schedule changes, informal direction, or unpaid change work.
Termination & Default
Short cure periods, broad default rights, convenience termination gaps, or weak payment protection after termination.
Compliance Cost Risk
Cybersecurity, wage, reporting, audit, bonding, insurance, or documentation duties that may not be reflected in your price.
Built to support attorney review — not replace it.
SubPreCheck is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. It helps contractors organize the first pass by identifying common risk areas, missing documents, unclear obligations, and questions for the prime. After the prime responds with a cleaner package, SubPreCheck recommends sending the revised documents to qualified legal counsel for final review.
