FAR 52.219-14 Subcontracting Limitations Defined

Offerors are advised that compliance with the Limitations on Subcontracting requirement will be evaluated consistent with applicable regulations and controlling legal interpretations.

For purposes of this procurement, the Government will assess compliance based on the percentage of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel (for services contracts), as required by FAR 52.219-14 and implementing SBA regulations.

Offerors are specifically cautioned that:

• The subcontracting limitation applies to the performance of the primary and vital requirements of the contract, not to administrative or incidental functions.


• Activities such as invoicing, billing, contract administration, general management, or other back-office support functions do not constitute performance of the contract’s primary requirements.


• Accordingly, such back-office or administrative functions will not be credited toward meeting the required percentage of work that must be performed by the prime contractor (or similarly situated entities, if applicable).


• The Government will evaluate compliance based on the extent to which the prime contractor is performing the core labor categories and substantive technical requirements identified in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) or Statement of Work (SOW).

Failure to demonstrate compliance with these requirements may render a proposal ineligible for award or may result in a determination of noncompliance during contract performance.

For the avoidance of doubt, merely retaining functions such as contract billing or administrative oversight, while subcontracting the substantive technical work, does not satisfy the limitations on subcontracting requirement.
