This document constitutes VA Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) clause 852.219-75, a mandatory certification regarding subcontracting limitations for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs) bidding on Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) contracts. To be eligible for award, offerors must sign and submit this certificate of compliance, pledging to adhere to specific subcontracting thresholds based on the project's NAICS code: - **Services (excluding construction):** The contractor cannot subcontract more than 50% of the contract's total value to non-certified SDVOSB/VOSB firms. - **General Construction:** Subcontracting to non-certified firms is capped at 85% of the contract value, excluding material costs. - **Special Trade Construction:** Subcontracting to non-certified firms is capped at 75% of the contract value, excluding material costs. Any work further subcontracted by a "similarly situated" certified subcontractor counts toward these limits. Under 18 U.S.C. 1001, providing false certification is a federal offense, and failure to act in good faith can lead to referral to the VA Suspension and Debarment Committee, substantial fines, and criminal prosecution. Contractors must cooperate fully with the VA and provide verifiable records, such as invoices and subcontracts, to demonstrate compliance at any point during or after contract performance. Failure to submit this signed certification with the proposal results in immediate disqualification.

This document is Attachment 8 of a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) solicitation for a commercial construction project under NAICS code 236220. It is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside evaluated using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures. The attachment provides the full text of critical contract clauses and provisions, alongside an index of 98 clauses incorporated by reference. Key full-text provisions include a customized commercial construction version of FAR 52.212-4, VAAR 852.273-74 (indicating the government's intent to award without exchanges), and VAAR 852.219-73, which outlines SDVOSB eligibility and performance requirements. To be eligible for award, contractors must be certified in the VIP database and must commit to satisfying performance of work limits, which require the prime contractor to perform at least 15% of general construction personnel costs or 25% of special trade construction personnel costs. Additionally, the document mandates a bid guarantee of 20% of the bid price (up to $3,000,000) under FAR 52.228-1, and 100% performance and payment bonds under FAR 52.228-15. Other highlighted clauses address Davis-Bacon Act construction wage rate requirements, monthly progress payments (with up to 10% retainage), differing site conditions, site investigation responsibilities, and a strict April 2026 clause prohibiting racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activities. Finally, VAAR 852.204-72 establishes mandatory personnel security vetting, background investigations, and PIV credentialing protocols for all on-site contractor and subcontractor personnel.

This federal regulatory document outlines a Department of Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) Class Deviation. The deviation amends VAAR Parts 822 and 852 to require contractor compliance with Executive Order 13899, Combating Anti-Semitism, pursuant to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Under the new policy, contracting officers must insert the clause at 852.222-71 in all solicitations and contracts that exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. The clause mandates that prime contractors comply with the Executive Order and provide timely, written disclosure to the contracting officer if they obtain credible evidence of violations by any principal, employee, agent, or subcontractor. Additionally, contractors are required to flow down these terms and conditions in every subcontract and purchase order, making them legally binding for all subcontractors and vendors.
