Subcontracting-limit math for small federal contractors
Get picks like this daily. Today's launch numbers, the top launches, AI and tech news, and a daily opportunity pick, straight to your inbox.
SubLimit is Windows software for small-business federal contractors on set-aside contracts. Import your payroll and subcontractor exports and it calculates the limitations-on-subcontracting percentage, with every figure linked to the source row it came from. Unknowns are flagged, never guessed. Your data stays on your computer, and it never certifies or submits anything. There is a free browser calculator (no sign-up), and the app has a 30-day no-card trial.

Could you build this?
Partial The spreadsheet-style import and calculation UI is buildable, but the legal and regulatory rules for limitations on subcontracting must be implemented correctly, and getting that right requires federal contracting domain expertise.
What it would actually take: The core is a deterministic rules engine that maps payroll and subcontractor exports to FAR 52.219-14 percentage calculations, with traceability back to source rows. The hard part is domain correctness: the rules vary by set-aside type and have edge cases that a government contracts specialist must verify. Windows desktop packaging (for example .NET or Electron) is straightforward by comparison.
