    Attachment 1 - VAAR 852.219-75 VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting_Certificate of Compliance for Services.docx
    The document, "VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting—Certificate of Compliance for Services and Construction," outlines the subcontracting limitations for contractors working with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) under 38 U.S.C. 8127(l)(2).

The certification emphasizes that any further subcontracting by similarly situated SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractors counts towards these limits.

Contractors must provide documentation to verify compliance upon request, and failure to submit the formal certification renders an offer ineligible for award.
