The VAAR 852.219-75 (DEVIATION) clause outlines limitations on subcontracting for VA contracts awarded under 38 U.S.C. 8127(l)(2). Offerors must certify they will comply with specific subcontracting limits based on contract type: 50% for services (excluding construction), 85% for general construction, and 75% for special trade construction. These percentages represent the maximum amount that can be paid to firms not certified as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) or Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs) listed in the SBA database. Work further subcontracted by similarly situated SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractors counts towards these limits. Costs of materials are generally excluded.

Contractors must provide documentation to VA upon request to demonstrate compliance, with failure to do so potentially resulting in remedial action. A formal certification must be completed and submitted with the offer, as incomplete offers will be deemed ineligible for award.
