If it's 2 words, is the c capitalized? Is there a hyphen between the 2 words? TY.

Yep, one word, like everyone above me said, and I am glad you didn't use dictionary.com, much more fun to interact with other humans!!!

It's not in my dictionary, but your spelling looks good to me. I think a 'sub contractor' would be slang for a builder of submarines, and in any case I can't see the need for a hyphen. Definitely no capitalization unless the word starts a sentence, of course. Sub, in this case is just a modifier of contractor, unlike a sub commander (submarine honcho). The word subspecies (one word) is in the same category as subcontractor.

It is written in one word: subcontractor, without hyphen.

As written it is a single word. You can put a hyphen if you prefer.

subcontractor is one word, not capitalized, no hyphen. you could have used your spell check feature to figure this out. At the very least, you could have gone to dictionary.com and typed it in the search box.
thanks for the points!

it's one word. *I'd* hyphenate, but I don't think it's mandated.
