About this file

This document is a VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting certification clause (VAAR 852.219-75) for the contract 762-24-700 EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades (CMOP) in Tucson, Arizona. The clause establishes requirements for a general construction contract awarded to a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) or Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB). The contractor must certify compliance with a limitation requiring that no more than 85% of the amount paid by the government be subcontracted to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs or VOSBs listed in the SBA certification database. Work that certified SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractors further subcontract also counts toward the 85% limitation, though material costs are excluded from this calculation.

The certification requires the offeror to acknowledge that false or fraudulent certification is subject to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties under 18 U.S.C. Section 1001. Offerors must provide a signed certification statement with their bid, quotation, or proposal, including the signee's printed name, title, signature, date, and company name and address. Failure to submit the completed certification renders the offer ineligible for evaluation and award. Upon contract award, the contractor must cooperate fully with VA by providing documents and records to demonstrate compliance with the subcontracting limitations at any time during performance and upon completion, with evidence including invoices, subcontract copies, or task value lists. Non-compliance or failure to provide requested documentation may result in remedial action by the government.

VAAR 852.219-75 VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting—Certificate of Compliance for Services and Construction (JAN 2023)(DEVIATION)

(a) Pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127(k)(2), the offeror certifies that—

(1) If awarded a contract (see FAR 2.101 definition), it will comply with the limitations on subcontracting requirement as provided in the solicitation and the resultant contract, as follows:

(ii) [X] General construction. In the case of a contract for general construction, the contractor will not pay more than 85% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–73 or certified VOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–74. Any work that a similarly situated certified SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 85% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Cost of materials are excluded and not considered to be subcontracted.

(2) The offeror acknowledges that this certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an Agency of the United States. The offeror further acknowledges that this certification is subject to Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001, and, as such, a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the offeror subject to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties, including prosecution.

(3) If VA determines that an SDVOSB/ VOSB awarded a contract pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127 did not act in good faith, such SDVOSB/VOSB shall be subject to any or all of the following:

(i) Referral to the VA Suspension and Debarment Committee;

(ii) A fine under section 16(g)(1) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C.

645(g)(1)); and

(iii) Prosecution for violating section U.S.C. 1001.

(b) The offeror represents and understands that by submission of its offer and award of a contract it may be required to provide copies of documents or records to VA that VA may review to determine whether the offeror complied with the limitations on subcontracting requirement specified in the contract.

Contracting officers may, at their discretion, require the contractor to demonstrate its compliance with the limitations on subcontracting at any time during performance and upon completion of a contract if the information regarding such compliance is not already available to the contracting officer.

Evidence of compliance includes, but is not limited to, invoices, copies of subcontracts, or a list of the value of tasks performed.

(c) The offeror further agrees to cooperate fully and make available any documents or records as may be required to enable VA to determine compliance with the limitations on subcontracting requirement. The offeror understands that failure to provide documents as requested by VA may result in remedial action as the Government deems appropriate.

(d) Offeror completed certification/fill-in required. The formal certification must be completed, signed and returned with the offeror’s bid, quotation, or proposal. The Government will not consider offers for award from offerors that do not provide the certification, and all such responses will be deemed ineligible for evaluation and award.

I hereby certify that if awarded the contract, [insert name of offeror] will comply with the limitations on subcontracting specified in this clause and in the resultant contract. I further certify that I am authorized to execute this certification on behalf of [insert name of offeror].
