> it is more about keeping the relationship and looking like more of a one stop shop. IME, it's often about the customer trust relationship and convenience. The customer doesn't want to deal with 10 W-9s and managed 10 new vendor relationships, and they trust us to source the other work and warranty it. A good analogy would be a GC in construction.

Yes, and a GC is very much on the hook, dealing with communication and looking to make as much as any subcontractor on the project even if that is by taking a small percentage from each. If a project amounts to work by one subcontractor, I think a busy GC doesn't make an offer.
