About this file
This document is a Limitations on Subcontracting Worksheet for a National Park Service contract related to maintenance dredging at Davis Bayou Dock, solicitation number 140PS125R0020. The worksheet provides a detailed methodology for calculating subcontractor labor percentages, with specific guidance that prime contractors cannot pay more than 85 percent of the contract amount to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities.
The worksheet includes a sample calculation demonstrating how to compute subcontracting labor percentages by breaking down direct labor, fringe benefits, and general and administrative (G&A) costs. In the example provided, the prime contractor's total labor costs are $605, with a subcontractor's labor costs of $165, resulting in a subcontracting labor percentage of 21.43%. The document emphasizes that prime contractors or similarly situated entities must perform a minimum of 15 percent of the work, excluding material costs, in compliance with federal acquisition regulations.

SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE
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)(3), General construction, it will not pay more than 85 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 15 percent of the work, excluding the cost of materials.
