    The document is a solicitation form (Standard Form 1442) used for government contracts focused on construction, alteration, or repair projects. It outlines the requirements for bidders, detailing sections that need to be completed, such as solicitation number, contractor information, performance requirements, and bid guarantees.

This policy rescinds the previous DOI guidance and applies to all DOI-awarded contracts, detailing required actions both prior to contract awards and after, particularly for those set aside for small and socioeconomically disadvantaged businesses. Contracting officers (COs) must verify compliance with limitations on subcontracting by ensuring that prime contractors don’t pay more than specified percentages to firms that are not similarly situated. For services, this limit is typically 50%, while for general construction, it is 85%, excluding material costs. The document also outlines procedures for reviewing compliance at designated performance intervals and emphasizes the importance of clearly determining the applicable NAICS code for acquisitions. Violations can result in significant penalties, and the policy underscores that while monitoring is essential, the primary responsibility lies with the contractor to adhere to these restrictions.
