About this file

This document is a federal acquisition regulation (FAR) clause 52.219-14 addressing Limitations on Subcontracting for small businesses, with a deviation issued in February 2023. The clause applies to contracts set aside for small business concerns, including sole-source awards, multiple-award contract orders, and contracts using HUBZone price evaluation preferences. Key limitations include restrictions on the percentage of contract value that can be subcontracted, with specific rules for different types of services and work:

For services (except construction), contractors cannot pay more than 50 percent of the contract amount to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. The clause provides detailed exclusions for direct costs, work performed outside the United States, and certain industry-specific considerations. Similar percentage limitations exist for supplies (50 percent), general construction (85 percent), and construction by special trade contractors (75 percent). The document emphasizes that subcontractors must have the same small business program status as the prime contractor and be considered small under the assigned North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code.
