How soon after the Prime awards a sub does work begin?

[GovBiz]

Hello everyone,

I have been pondering on the questions below as to how I will work with the staffing agency to provide them with as much specific information as possible.

When they ask me things like : what team are you after or what NAICS code would you like to hire under, when does work begin, have you won a contract yet and similar, it will be useful if I have already won the contract as this will enable me to provide the staffing agency with exact details, whereas if I haven't won it yet the information will be very vague and far from helpful to them.

Which leads me on to think that if there are about 3 months between contract award and work starting, I am sure I can assemble the dream team that has it all. From what I have heard from various staffing agencies, they tend to take a couple of business days to create a working team. If my 3 month window assumption is correct, this could work.

1. How soon after the Prime awards a sub does work begin?
2. How soon does the sub receive payment from Prime post award?

 

I am looking forward to your input and advice. Thank you in advance!

Both of your questions should be answered in the text of your subcontract.

The text in one subcontract can easily differ from the text in another subcontract.

I do not think you will find a simple or consistent answer to either of your questions

@GovBizYou must provide context for your questions! I have no idea what kind of procurement you're talking about. You write as though we've been discussing your situation for days and know all about it.

The only rational answer I can think to provide to your two questions is: It depends.

Your post is astonishingly thoughtless.
