About this file
This is a Limitation on Subcontracting Report worksheet required under FAR Clause 52.219-14 for Solicitation 140P4226R0005, a Total Small Business set-aside for Congress Hall Masonry rehabilitation work at the National Park Service's East Philadelphia office. The worksheet provides instructions and a calculation template for determining the percentage of contract work that may be subcontracted to non-similarly situated entities, which cannot exceed 85 percent of the Government-paid amount (excluding material costs) for general construction work. This requirement ensures that the prime contractor or similarly situated entities perform a minimum of 15 percent of the work.
The document includes a detailed step-by-step methodology for calculating the subcontracting labor cost percentage by adding direct labor and fringe benefits, applying the contractor's General and Administrative (G&A) rate, and then dividing the subcontractor's total labor costs by the combined prime and subcontractor labor costs. An example calculation demonstrates a 21.43 percent subcontracting labor percentage based on prime contractor costs of $250 direct labor plus $300 fringe benefits, and subcontractor costs of $50 direct labor plus $100 fringe benefits, with a 10 percent G&A rate applied. Contractors must verify that their labor overhead is allowable under FAR 31.205-6(m) or risk elimination of the entire overhead from calculations.

SUBJECT: FAR CLAUSE 52.219-14, SUBCONTRACTING PERCENTAGE WORKSHEET
SOLICITATION 140P4226R0005 INDE Rehabilitate Congress Hall Masonry
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)(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.
