# SubK Request

> Request a subcontract (SubK) with a subcontractor on a program, including the subcontractor's point of contact, dates, and scope.

A SubK request asks Contract Management to set up a subcontract between a program's prime contract and a subcontractor. After you submit it, the request follows the configured approval workflow before being approved, rejected, or returned for revision.

## Create a SubK Request

### Prerequisites

Before submitting a SubK request:

* You must have an active employee account.
* The subcontractor must be set up as a business partner on the selected program. Partners that already have a SubK or Consultant Agreement with the program are not listed.
