D.4 Statement of FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting Compliance.docx

This is a compliance statement regarding FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting requirements for a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside solicitation. The document serves as a template or checklist to ensure that the prime contractor complies with federal limitations on subcontracting obligations inherent to small business contracting vehicles. As this solicitation for ambulance services (NAICS 621910) is designated as an SDVOSB set-aside, the prime contractor must certify and demonstrate that it will perform the required work with appropriate direct involvement and control, ensuring that the percentage of work subcontracted does not exceed the thresholds established under FAR 52.219-14. This requirement is particularly critical for service contracts, where the prime must retain meaningful control and performance of the core ambulance service delivery for the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (VISN 10) in Columbus.

The compliance statement requires the contractor to acknowledge and commit to the subcontracting limitations applicable to the contract type and dollar value. For ambulance services, the contractor must verify that it will not exceed the prescribed subcontracting percentage, typically 25 percent for service contracts under small business set-asides, unless a waiver is granted. This statement is submitted as part of the overall proposal response package and supports the contracting officer's verification that the awardee is a legitimate SDVOSB capable of performing the primary contract obligations and not merely using the small business designation as a pass-through arrangement.
