The VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting—Certificate of Compliance for Services and Construction (JAN 2023) DEVIATION outlines requirements for contractors regarding subcontracting limitations, particularly for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs). For general construction contracts, contractors may not pay more than 85% of the government-paid amount to firms not certified as SDVOSBs or VOSBs. Materials costs are excluded from this calculation. Offerors must certify their compliance, understanding that false certifications can lead to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties, including prosecution. The VA reserves the right to request documentation to verify compliance at any point during contract performance, with failure to cooperate potentially resulting in remedial action. This certification is a mandatory component of the offer, and failure to provide it will render the offer ineligible for award.
