Becoming a Qwest Subcontractor

Each potential subcontractor, supplier or teaming partner is evaluated for their capabilities and pre-qualified to meet federal contracting requirements prior to being selected as a QGSI subcontractor.

To begin the evaluation process you must:

1) Register your company as an Online Representation and Certification Applicant (ORCA) with the federal government (see web link https://orca.bpn.gov/login.aspx). We cannot onboard a company without having their Representation and Certification record on file.

2) We also highly recommend that you register your company in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database http://www.ccr.gov/ as it is the primary registrant database for contracts for the U.S. Federal Government.

Finally, you should complete the Application Form.
