- Note
- Quiet change, real compliance consequence. The clause points to the 4.1403(a) figure in effect on the date of the subcontract award, so primes still using $30,000 are reporting subawards they no longer have to.
A prime contractor awards a first-tier subcontract under a contract that carries the subaward reporting clause. At or above what subcontract value must the prime report it by the end of the following month?
$40,000 (FAR 52.204-10(d)(2); FAR 4.1403(a)), as of 2 November 2026. It was $30,000 until it moved on 1 October 2025.
