This document contains the Department of the Interior (DOI) templates for the "Report on Limitations on Subcontracting" under Solicitation Number 140P4226Q0056. These reports are mandatory for small business, 8(a), or other socio-economic set-aside contracts to demonstrate compliance with federal subcontracting limits, specifically implementing FAR clause 52.219-14 (OCT 2022) (DEVIATION OCT 2022). The file provides two distinct templates: 1. **Proposal Submission Report:** Tailored for "Construction by Special Trade Contractors" (NAICS 237110). It utilizes a participation calculation to ensure the prime contractor does not pay more than 75% of the government-funded amount (excluding materials) to non-similarly situated (NSS) subcontractors. 2. **Contract Closeout Report:** Tailored for "General Construction" to verify compliance at the end of contract performance. This template utilizes an 85% threshold, ensuring payments to NSS subcontractors do not exceed 85% of the total contract price, excluding materials. Both calculators require the user to input the total contract prices and individual subcontract amounts (excluding materials) for both Similarly Situated Subcontractors (SSS) and Non-Similarly Situated Subcontractors (NSS) to automatically compute participation percentages. SSS entities are defined as first-tier subcontractors sharing the same small business program status and size standard as the prime contractor.
