Answer: The solicitation/contract term requiring 50% of the labor cost to be incurred by prime contractor employees is separate from the requirements of FAR clause 52.219-14. In order to be compliant with requirements of this solicitation/contract, at least 50% of labor costs must be incurred by the prime contractor. Subcontracting more than 50% to a similar situated small business entity would not be allowable.
