Small Business Subcontracting
with CACI
We appreciate your interest in CACI's government small business subcontracting program. This section is intended to assist small businesses, as defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration, in focusing their marketing resources most effectively and to anticipate frequently asked questions.
Our Business
CACI is an information technology solutions provider. Small business subcontracting requirements principally arise under our U.S. government contracts for large scale software design and development, enterprise business process improvement, intelligent document management, information assurance, network management and logistics engineering services. Outsourcing for services or products is predominantly focused on meeting specific client agency, program, application or platform niche requirements where external resources and expertise can supplement the solution set CACI brings to its customers.
CACI subcontracts are generally focused on delivery of a specific end product. They are not simply to provide personnel to supplement CACI's or its clients' staffs or to furnish equipment or software solely as a distributor or reseller.
Many of our federal contracts require CACI to have identified our small business subcontracting partners and their roles in advance of the prime contract award. Accordingly, CACI rarely has a large volume of unfilled requirements for which we have not yet identified qualified small business sources at competitive prices.
Subcontracting Guidelines
- CACI does not regularly procure or sell to others high volume, generic staff augmentation, leased personnel or contract programming services. When a particular skill set is required beyond existing CACI resources the responsible Program Managers in our operating groups identify and qualify subcontractor sources for limited term, specialized staff supplementation. Our acquisition personnel do not centrally manage these requirements - they are highly decentralized and project specific.
- Our contract operations do not require us to routinely purchase standard commodities in large quantities for resale or to regularly acquire, install or maintain ADP or telecommunications equipment of any brand name. When required, such items, including standard office supplies, are usually acquired directly from the manufacturer.
- We do not design, manufacture, assemble or construct mechanical equipment, production electronics, machinery, weapons platforms or building structures of any kind.
- Employee recruitment and permanent personnel placements are not treated as subcontracts by CACI. Contact our Corporate Recruiting Senior VP, Larry Clifton, regarding recruitment and placements. Please first view our current employment openings and compare these to your candidate offerings before you contact him.
