The VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting - Certificate of Compliance for Services and Construction (NOV 2022) outlines regulations for contractors regarding subcontracting percentages when awarded a VA contract. Contractors must comply with specific limits: for services, no more than 50% of the government-paid amount can go to non-VIP-listed SDVOSBs or VOSBs; for general construction, the limit is 85%; and for special trade construction contractors, it is 75%. The document clarifies that work subcontracted by similarly situated VIP-listed subcontractors counts towards these limits, and material costs are generally excluded. It also warns against false certifications, which can lead to severe penalties, including fines and prosecution. Offerors are required to submit a signed certification of compliance with their bid, quotation, or proposal, as failure to do so will result in ineligibility for evaluation and award. The VA reserves the right to request documentation to verify compliance at any time.
