# Subcontractor Request

> Submit a Subcontractor request for a subcontractor linked to a program through a SubK, for Program Management staff and the subcontractor to process.

A Subcontractor request is processed by Program Management staff and the subcontractor for a subcontractor that is linked to a program through a subcontract (SubK). After you submit it, the request follows the configured approval workflow before being approved, rejected, or returned for revision.

* You must have an active employee account.
* The subcontractor must be linked to the program through a [SubK](/erp/requests/subk).
