## For agents

How to find federal subcontracting opportunities for free in FY2027

- The user's target requirement or market and authorized business context.

- Free Community Edition supports the manual research described; use separately authorized Lumen access for the suggested agent prompt.

1. **Define the work you can contribute** Ask for the service, delivery geography, available capacity and relevant experience. Establish whether the user wants subcontract quotes on awarded work or a role in a future prime proposal. Do not invent capacity, clearances or certifications. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/app/companies)

2. **Research relevant primes** Use the GovCon Directory agency and NAICS past-performance filters to identify relevant companies. Resolve legal identity and preserve actual record URLs. Cross-check the work using original award sources and the prime's public materials. A historical award does not prove current subcontract demand. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/docs/understand-market/research-a-company)

3. **Verify the subcontract lead** Read current SBA SUBNet listings, GSA subcontracting resources and the prime's supplier page linked in this article. Treat SUBNet as supplemental. Confirm the customer, scope, original documents and posted status; a future closing date is not a posting date or proof a request is still open. Keep federal and local projects distinct.

4. **Ask Lumen to challenge fit** With the user's authorization, add the relevant outside solicitation or supporting documents in Lumen and confirm the attached files. Include authorized company context. Suggested Lumen prompt: Compare these cited prime records and requirements with our supplied delivery experience. For each candidate, explain the specific work we could contribute, the evidence for a need, what remains unknown and the question that would test mutual interest. Cite each factual claim. Do not infer a partnership or contact anyone. Follow up by asking which missing fact could remove each candidate from the shortlist. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/docs/lumen/ask-a-good-question)

5. **Prepare the next conversation** Return a short source-linked list with proposed contribution, original requirement, uncertainty and next question. The free Directory and CRM provide a manual path. Offer to prepare account/contact notes and a next action; create records only when instructed and verify saved results. Do not send outreach without authorization. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/app/crm)

Expected result: A cited shortlist of primes with a specific proposed contribution and a prepared next question; verified status of any requested CRM changes.
