CPARS is the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System that reports and rates contractor performance. The system objectives are to:

Whether you are a large business or small, one way to increase your exposure in the federal marketplace is to act as a subcontractor to prime vendors. Customer agencies get introduced to your company and your level of service, increasing your potential for receiving orders as a future prime contractor. Extending your network of industry partners means greater chances of work, even if limited to work as a subcontractor. 

The federal government prioritizes small business participation in our buying programs. Some government contracts require “other than small businesses” to maximize subcontracting with small businesses. This creates more opportunities for small businesses to get involved in federal contracting.
