Can a subcontractor become a prime contractor on the same contract?

Subcontractor to prime transition: **On Same Contract:** - Generally not allowed during contract - OCI (organizational conflict of interest) concerns - May have access to proprietary information - Prime relationship creates conflict **On Recompete/Follow-on:** - Can compete as prime - Must exit current teaming arrangement - May still have OCI issues to mitigate - Timing of transition matters **Building Toward Prime:** - Gain experience as sub - Build direct customer relationships - Develop independent capabilities - Exit sub role before recompete **Best Practices:** - Document your independent work - Establish information barriers - Consult OCI rules carefully - Consider timing strategically
