INSTRUCTIONS FOR CALCULATION OF SELF-PERFORMED WORK

IAW “Limitations on Subcontracting” (FAR 52.219-14 (Oct 2022) and/or FAR 52.219-17) Offeror’s are to identify self-performance IAW CFR Title 13: Business Credit and Assistance PART 125—GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING PROGRAMS § 125.6 Prime contractor performance requirements (limitations on subcontracting). https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-13/chapter-I/part-125/section-125.6 SELF PERFORMED CALCULATIONS for Services = 50% or greater to “similarly situated” entities. For service contracts, the ISBEE Prime Contractor must ensure that no less than 50 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel is performed by the Prime and/or “similarly situated entities.” (See Page 3 for clarifications on “similar situated” entities).

“Concern Status” below means the SBA determined status of the firm, the small business program status as that which qualified the prime contractor for the award, and that is considered small for the NAICS code the prime contractor assigned to the subcontract the subcontractor will perform. These include Small Business, Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE), 8(a) participants, Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDB), HUBZone Small Business concerns, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns, and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) concerns and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns eligible under the WOSB Program. If none of these apply, the concern would be a Large Business.

Definitions: (FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting (Oct 2022)— “Similarly situated entity” means a first-tier subcontractor, including an independent contractor, that has the same small business program status as that which qualified the prime contractor for the award, and is considered small for the size standard under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code the prime contractor assigned to the subcontract. An example of a similarly situated entity is a first-tier subcontractor that is a HUBZone small business concern for a HUBZone set-aside or sole source award under the HUBZone Program.

(13 CFR 125.6) § 125.6 What are the prime contractor's limitations on subcontracting?

(a) General. In order to be awarded a full or partial small business set-aside contract with a value greater than the simplified acquisition threshold (as defined in the FAR at 48 CFR 2.101) an 8(a) contract, an SDVOSB contract, a VOSB contract, a HUBZone contract, or a WOSB or EDWOSB contract pursuant to part 127 of this chapter, a small business concern must agree that:

(1) In the case of a contract for services (except construction), it will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not similarly situated. Any work that a similarly situated subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 50% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Other direct costs may be excluded to the extent they are not the principal purpose of the acquisition and small business concerns do not provide the service, such as airline travel, work performed by a transportation or disposal entity under a contract assigned the environmental remediation NAICS code (562910), cloud computing services, or mass media purchases. In addition, work performed overseas on awards made pursuant to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 or work required to be performed by a local contractor, is excluded.

(c) Subcontracts to similarly situated entities. A small business concern prime contractor that receives a contract listed in paragraph (a) of this section and spends contract amounts on a subcontractor that is a similarly situated entity shall not consider those subcontracted amounts as subcontracted for purposes of determining whether the small business concern prime contractor has violated paragraph (a) of this section, to the extent the subcontractor performs the work with its own employees. Any work that the similarly situated subcontractor does not perform with its own employees shall be considered subcontracted SBA will also exclude a subcontract to a similarly situated entity from consideration under the ostensible subcontractor rule (§ 121.103(h)(4)). A prime contractor may no longer count a similarly situated entity towards compliance with the limitations on subcontracting where the subcontractor ceases to qualify as small or under the relevant socioeconomic status.

Example 1 to paragraph (c):

An SDVO SBC sole source contract is awarded in the total amount of $500,000 for hammers. The prime contractor is a manufacturer and subcontracts 51% of the total amount received, less the cost of materials ($100,000) or $204,000, to an SDVO SBC subcontractor that manufactures the hammers in the U.S. The prime contractor does not violate the limitation on subcontracting requirement because the amount subcontracted to a similarly situated entity (less the cost of materials) is excluded from the limitation on subcontracting calculation.

Example 2 to paragraph (c):

A competitive 8(a) BD contract is awarded in the total amount of $10,000,000 for janitorial services. The prime contractor subcontracts $8,000,000 of the janitorial services to another 8(a) BD certified firm. The prime contractor does not violate the limitation on subcontracting for services because the amount subcontracted to a similarly situated entity is excluded from the limitation on subcontracting.

Example 3 to paragraph (c):

A WOSB set-aside contract is awarded in the total amount of $1,000,000 for landscaping services. The prime contractor subcontracts $500,001 to an SDVO SBC subcontractor that is not also a WOSB under the WOSB program. The prime contractor is in violation of the limitation on subcontracting requirement because it has subcontracted more than 50% of the contract amount to an SDVO SBC subcontractor, which is not considered similarly situated to a WOSB prime contractor.
