    852.219-75 LOS Certificate of Compliance .docx
    VAAR 852.219-75 outlines the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) limitations on subcontracting for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs) in federal government contracts. This clause, applicable to services, general construction, and special trade construction, mandates that prime contractors limit the percentage of the government-paid amount that can be subcontracted to firms not certified as SDVOSBs or VOSBs. Specifically, for services, the limit is 50%; for general construction, 85%; and for special trade construction, 75%. The document clarifies that any further subcontracting by similarly situated SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractors counts towards these limits. It emphasizes the serious legal consequences, including criminal, civil, or administrative penalties, for false certifications. Contractors are required to provide documentation to the VA upon request to demonstrate compliance, with non-compliance potentially leading to remedial actions. A formal certification must be submitted with the offer, as failure to do so renders the offer ineligible for award.
