    The VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting outlines the compliance requirements for service and construction contracts awarded to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs). It specifies that if awarded a contract, the contractor must adhere to subcontracting limitations, allowing them to pay no more than 50% of the total amount to non-VIP-listed SDVOSBs for services, 85% for general construction, and 75% for special trade construction. All subcontracted work by VIP-listed firms counts towards these limits. The document underscores the seriousness of these certifications, with potential criminal and civil penalties for false claims, including referral for suspension, fines, or prosecution. It stipulates that contractors may be required to provide documentation to verify compliance throughout the contract’s duration. The certification must be signed and submitted with the bid as proposals lacking this certification will be deemed ineligible. This clause is part of broader federal procurement regulations aimed at promoting small business participation in government contracts while ensuring that SDVOSBs and VOSBs are the primary beneficiaries of awarded contracts.
