The VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting—Certificate of Compliance for Services and Construction (JAN 2023) outlines requirements for offerors regarding subcontracting percentages when awarded a VA contract. Offerors must certify they will comply with specific limitations: 50% for services (excluding certain direct costs), 85% for general construction (excluding material costs), and 75% for special trade construction. These percentages represent the maximum amount that can be paid to firms not certified as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) or Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs). The document specifies that any further subcontracting by a similarly situated SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractor will count towards these limits. Offerors acknowledge the legal implications of false certifications, including criminal and civil penalties. The VA reserves the right to request documentation to verify compliance and may impose penalties, including debarment or fines, for non-compliance or bad faith. Failure to provide the required certification with an offer will result in its ineligibility for evaluation and award.
