SubSignal / Opportunities / Illinois
These 4 awards are performed in Illinois and are large enough to require a small business subcontracting plan, which means each prime named here has to subcontract part of the work to small businesses. $103M in total.
A subcontracting plan is a legal obligation on the prime, not an open solicitation. Nobody will contact you. The window that matters is the first few weeks after award, while the prime is still assembling its team — here is how the rule works.
| Prime contractor | Agency | Award | Plan type | Start |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medline Industries, LP | Department of Veterans Affairs | $80.6M | Commercial Subcontract Plan | Jun 1, 2026 |
| National Opinion Research Center | Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management | $13.2M | Individual Subcontract Plan | Jul 23, 2026 |
| Fresenius Kabi, LLC | Office of Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response | $7.9M | Commercial Subcontract Plan | Jul 30, 2026 |
| National Opinion Research Center | Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services | $1.3M | Individual Subcontract Plan | Aug 1, 2026 |
Federal contract awards are published on USASpending.gov, and each record carries a field stating whether the award requires a subcontracting plan. SubSignal reads that field, keeps only the awards where the answer is yes, and drops everything else — awards below the threshold, awards to small businesses that are exempt, and awards the contracting officer marked as having no subcontracting possibilities. What is left is a list of large companies with a live obligation to find small business partners. This page rebuilds every time the feed refreshes.
