This VA clause requires an offeror to certify compliance with VA limitations on subcontracting for SDVOSB/VOSB contracts, with the special trade construction limitation indicated. For services, no more than 50% of government payments may go to non-certified SDVOSB/VOSB firms; for general construction, 85%; and for special trade construction, 75%, with materials costs excluded for construction. The certification is legally binding, and false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements may result in criminal, civil, or administrative penalties, including debarment and prosecution. VA may require records or other evidence at any time during performance and after completion to verify compliance, and the contractor must cooperate. The certification must be completed, signed, and returned with the offer; failure to provide it makes the offer ineligible for evaluation and award.

This VA contract clause requires offerors to certify compliance with limitations on subcontracting for services and construction, with the special trade construction category indicated. For services, contractors may not pay more than 50% of government payments to non-certified SDVOSB/VOSB firms; the caps are 85% for general construction and 75% for special trade construction, with materials excluded for construction. Work subcontracted by similarly situated certified SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractors counts toward those caps unless otherwise excluded. False or fraudulent certification may lead to suspension/debarment, fines, or prosecution, and VA may review invoices, subcontracts, or task-value lists to verify compliance. Offerors must complete, sign, and return the certification with their offer, or the offer will be ineligible for evaluation and award.
