The "VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting - Certificate of Compliance for Services and Construction" clause (852.219-75) outlines subcontracting limitations for VA contracts, ensuring compliance with 38 U.S.C. 8127(k)(2). For service contracts, subcontractors not listed as VIP-listed SDVOSBs or VOSBs cannot receive more than 50% of the government payment. General construction contracts have an 85% limit, and special trade construction contracts have a 75% limit for non-listed subcontractors, excluding material costs. The clause mandates certification of compliance from offerors, warning against false certifications that can lead to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties. VA reserves the right to request documentation to verify compliance at any time, with failure to cooperate potentially resulting in remedial action. Non-compliant SDVOSBs/VOSBs may face referral to the VA Suspension and Debarment Committee, fines, or prosecution. The certification must be completed and submitted with the offer, as failure to do so will deem the offer ineligible for award.
