This government file outlines the VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting—Certificate of Compliance for Services and Construction, as prescribed in 819.7011(b) and effective January 2023. It details the requirement for offerors to certify compliance with subcontracting limitations when awarded a contract by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), as mandated by 38 U.S.C. 8127(l)(2). For services (excluding construction), contractors cannot pay more than 50% of the government-paid amount to non-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) or Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs). The clause specifies that false certifications can lead to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties. It also states that failure to act in good faith or provide requested documentation for compliance checks may result in referral to the VA Suspension and Debarment Committee, fines, or prosecution. Offerors must complete, sign, and return the formal certification with their bid, quotation, or proposal to be considered for award.
