WARNING: Severe Penalties for Contractors that violate the Limitations on Subcontracting Rule: If caught during the performance violating the FAR government subcontracting rules or limitations on subcontracting clause under the Code of Federal Regulations 13 C.F.R. 125.6(g), there can be stiff penalties: “Whoever violates the requirements set forth in paragraph (a) of this section shall be subject to the penalties prescribed in 15 U.S.C. 645(d), except that the fine shall be treated as the greater of $500,000 or the dollar amount spent, in excess of permitted levels, by the entity on subcontractors. A party's failure to comply with the spirit and intent of a subcontract with a similarly situated entity may be considered a basis for debarment on the grounds, including but not limited to, that the parties have violated the terms of a Government contract or subcontract pursuant to FAR 9.406-2(b)(1)(i) (48 CFR 9.406-2(b)(1)(i)).” Contracting Officers may require the contractor to demonstrate its compliance with the limitations on subcontracting at any time during the performance of the contract by having the Contractor provide invoices, copies of subcontracts, or a list of the value of tasks performed.

I certify the above representations are true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
