About this file

This is a Limitations on Subcontracting Worksheet for FAR Clause 52.219-14 applicable to solicitation 140P4226R0020 for Potable and Wastewater Treatment Plant Operations at Flight 93 National Memorial in Stoystown, Pennsylvania. The worksheet is a template designed to calculate the percentage of contract work that prime contractors may subcontract, with a maximum threshold of 50 percent for subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. The document provides step-by-step calculation instructions requiring contractors to input direct labor costs, fringe benefits, and general and administrative (G&A) rates for both the prime contractor and any subcontractors, then apply a specified formula to determine the subcontracting labor cost percentage.

The worksheet includes an embedded Excel example demonstrating the calculation methodology, showing a prime contractor with $550 in subtotal labor costs (direct labor plus fringe benefits) and a subcontractor with $150, resulting in a subcontracting labor percentage of 21.43 percent after applying G&A rates at 10 percent. The document emphasizes that contractors must demonstrate allowable labor overhead costs in accordance with FAR 31.205-6(m) and clarifies that when contracts include both services and supplies, the 50 percent limitation applies only to the service portion. Contractors must use comparable cost breakdowns when available or use total subcontracting amounts if detailed subcontractor cost information is unavailable.

SUBJECT: FAR CLAUSE 52.219-14, SUBCONTRACTING PERCENTAGE WORKSHEET

SOLICITATION 140P4226R0020 Potable and Wastewater Treatment Plant Operations at Flight 93 National Memorial (FLNI)

PRIME CONTRACTOR: _________________________ SOURCE: ________________________

SUBCONTRACTOR: ___________________________ SOURCE: ________________________

To calculate, either follow the below directions OR right click the above Excel ‘Object’ and select ‘Worksheet Object’ then ‘Edit’. You can then input Direct Labor/Fringe Benefits/G&A % and it will calculate for you (as illustrated).

a) To calculate the subcontracting percentage, first add DIRECT LABOR and FRINGE BENEFITS and enter the figures for the prime contractor in space (A) and for the subcontractor (if available)*** in space (B).

b) Next, calculate the LABOR G&A by multiplying the G&A rate by the SUBTOTAL figure in space (A).

c) Calculate the subcontractor's LABOR G&A by multiplying the subcontractor's G&A rate by the subcontractor's SUBTOTAL figure in (B).

d) Add the LABOR G&A to the SUBTOTAL and record that figure in the spaces for TOTAL LABOR COSTS at (C) and (D) respectively.

e) Next, using the formula below, calculate the subcontracting labor percentage.

____(D)____

(C) + (D)

SUBCONTRACTING LABOR COST PERCENTAGE = %

*The firm must demonstrate that their labor overhead is allowable in accordance with FAR 3 l.205- 6(m). Failure to do so will cause the entire overhead to be eliminated from the calculations.

**G&A denotes General and Administrative Costs ***You need to compare as like figures as possible. Therefore, if you have a breakdown of the subcontractor's costs use it in the formulation above. If you do not have a breakdown you need to use the TOTAL SUBCONTRACTING AMOUNT for item (D) even though you must still breakdown the contractor's costs.

In accordance with FAR Clause 52.219-14(e)(1), Services, it will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count towards the prime contractor's 50 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. When a contract includes both services and supplies, the 50 percent limitation shall apply only to the service portion of the contract.
