				  contractor" and may include contractors receiving awards under the single prime
				  or multiple-prime method of contract bidding and award. The prime contractor
				  shall be responsible for performance of all sub-contractors. Accordingly, the

				  sub-contractors, required by terms of the contract to be listed by the prime
				  contractor, and all material suppliers.
