This is Federal Government in the DC area related.
Whats the typical take between an employee at a Prime Contractor and the Subcontractor? Lets say the Government is billed for $100/hour for work by the Contracting company. What percent of that will the employee get if he works for the Prime Contractor? What if he is a subcontractor. what percent of that will his subcontracting company get, what percentage will the employee get?
I want to know that plus more on the business model and costs for Sub contractors.
Ok, for that info, you have to speak with actual contractors. Obviously, there is no one answer, but an estimator might be able to guide you as to how they calculate their rates.
I guess I'm totally confused? How it works in my world:
When a contract is out there for bid and a perspective bidder has a question that needs clarification, they submit an RFI - Request for Information. The RFI and the response is then sent out to all the perspective bidders so there is no favoratism. OR a contract that is underway - the contractor might have an RFI to deal with something not covered in the contract.
We send out RFP's - Request for Proposal - to companies that already hold service contracts when we want something done that's out of the contract scope. If those service contractors find something broken outside of their contract they can submit a URFP (unsolicited).
RFI is Request for Info to me, also, but some use it as Request for Interest. We did RFEIs--Request for Expression of Interest.
?? - what makes you say that...I assume this is just facetiousness - any Federal Contracting Officer who decided to ignore the FAR would find him or herself in a pile of doo-doo pretty quick...
Many of our contracts are never publicized or go out for open bids. This is just the way we conduct business. has always been how we conduct business, and will always be how we conduct business. Not even the President, Congress, the Secretary, or the Director will be able to change how it's done.
