    VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting.docx
    The VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting outlines the compliance requirements for offerors regarding subcontracting in contracts for supplies and products under 38 U.S.C. 8127. Offerors must certify that no more than 50% of the amount received from the government will be paid to non-VIP-listed SDVOSBs or non-manufacturers without specific waivers. Additionally, they must clarify their status as either a manufacturer or nonmanufacturer, meeting criteria such as employee count and engagement in the retail or wholesale trade. The certification includes acknowledgment of penalties for false statements and the need to provide documentation to demonstrate compliance with subcontracting limitations. Offerors must complete and submit this certification as part of their bid packages, as failure to do so will result in ineligibility for contract awards. This regulation emphasizes the VA's commitment to supporting small business participation and ensuring fair contracting practices within government procurement processes.
