About this file
This is a Subcontracting Percentage Worksheet attachment for FAR Clause 52.219-14 related to solicitation 140P4226Q0008 for EISE HQ HVAC Replacement at Eisenhower National Historic Site, issued by the National Park Service on 19 February 2026. The worksheet provides calculation instructions for determining subcontracting labor cost percentages, with step-by-step guidance for computing direct labor, fringe benefits, and labor G&A costs for both prime contractors and subcontractors. The document includes a worked example demonstrating the formula, showing a prime contractor with $605 total labor costs and a subcontractor with $165 total labor costs, resulting in a subcontracting labor percentage of 21.43 percent.
The worksheet establishes compliance requirements under FAR Clause 52.219-14(e)(4) for construction by special trade contractors, which mandates that the prime contractor shall not pay more than 75 percent of the Government-paid amount to non-similarly situated subcontractors. This effectively requires the prime contractor or similarly situated entities to perform a minimum of 25 percent of the work, excluding material costs. Contractors are instructed to either manually calculate the subcontracting percentage using the provided formula or utilize the embedded Excel worksheet object for automated calculation. The document emphasizes that labor overhead must be demonstrable as allowable under FAR 31.205-6(m), with failure to do so resulting in elimination of the entire overhead from calculations.

SUBJECT: FAR CLAUSE 52.219-14, SUBCONTRACTING PERCENTAGE WORKSHEET
SOLICITATION 140P4226Q0008 EISE HQ HVAC Replacement
PRIME CONTRACTOR: _________________________ SOURCE: ________________________
SUBCONTRACTOR: ___________________________ SOURCE: ________________________
Example:
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)(4), Construction by special trade contractors, it will not pay more than 75 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count towards the prime contractor's 85 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Therefore, the prime contractor or similarly situated entities shall perform a minimum of 25 percent of the work, excluding the cost of materials.
