Q1. Will Prime/Sub Teaming be allowed? If yes, will the past performance of the Teaming Sub be allowed and evaluated? If yes, will a Teaming Agreement need to be submitted in the proposal?

A1. A teaming arrangement is allowed as long as the requirements of FAR 52.219-14 are met.

This is an excerpt:

“(3) General construction. The concern will perform at least 15 percent of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with its own employees.

(4) Construction by special trade contractors. The concern will perform at least 25 percent of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with its own employees.”

PPQ provided?
