The information regarding becoming a subcontractor or reseller emphasizes the process and guidelines for starting such a venture. The process is to be handled directly with the DIR prime vendor, without DIR's involvement.

To find the right partner, businesses should aim for alignment between their services and what potential vendors offer. Using the resources available on the IT Solutions and Services webpage, prospective subcontractors or resellers can search through product categories and refine their search using various filters such as NIGP commodity code.

Establishing a relationship with a prime vendor requires negotiation and might necessitate authorization from manufacturers if the vendor is not the primary manufacturer. Before officially joining a contract, the prime vendor must submit an amended HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) for DIR review. Once approved, the business is added to the contract as a subcontractor or reseller.

DIR encourages participation in the HUB program, which works with various organizations to share information about the Statewide HUB Program's initiatives. Helpful resources are available on the DIR website, including the Selling through DIR page and a YouTube channel with webinars and training.

For questions or feedback about any DIR program or service, contact can be established via DASH, an online form, or by calling 1-855-ASK-DIR1.
