The project is divided into three main phases: Phase 1 – Schematics (Concept) Design, Phase 2 – Design Development, and Phase 3 – Contract Documents (for Bid). Each phase includes multiple submission milestones for VA review, followed by VA review periods and VA-A/E Project Review Meetings.

    VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting.docx
    VAAR 852.219-77 outlines the VA's limitations on subcontracting for services and construction contracts, requiring offerors to certify compliance with specific percentages for subcontractors. For services, non-VIP-listed SDVOSBs or VOSBs cannot receive more than 50% of the government-paid amount. General construction limits this to 85%, and special trade construction to 75%. Material costs are excluded for construction. The certification, mandated by 38 U.S.C. 8127(k)(2), carries legal weight, with false certifications leading to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties under 18 U.S.C. 1001. Non-compliant SDVOSBs/VOSBs may face referral to the VA Suspension and Debarment Committee, fines, or prosecution. Contractors must provide documentation to VA upon request to demonstrate compliance, with failure to do so potentially resulting in remedial action. The offeror's signed certification is a mandatory component of their bid, quotation, or proposal for award consideration.
