    LOS certification - 1.2023.docx
    The "VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting - Certificate of Compliance for Services and Construction" outlines requirements for offerors in contracts related to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The document emphasizes adherence to subcontracting limitations under 38 U.S.C. 8127, mandating that contractors must ensure a specific percentage of work is retained by Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) or Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs), depending on the type of contract. For service contracts, subcontracting to non-certified firms must not exceed 50%, while for general construction it’s capped at 85%, and for special trade construction, it’s limited to 75%. The clause stresses the serious implications of non-compliance, including potential criminal and civil penalties, and requires contractors to submit documentation proving compliance throughout the contract period. This certification is integral for maintaining fair access for veteran-owned businesses in federal contracting, reflecting a governmental commitment to support this demographic within the public procurement process. Failure to provide the required certification will render bids ineligible for evaluation, underscoring the document's overarching role in promoting accountability and compliance in federal contracting practices.
