• Certification Requirement: Offerors must certify that they will comply with subcontracting limitations as provided in the solicitation and resultant contract.
• Services: For service contracts, contractors must not pay more than 50% of the contract amount to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs or VOSBs. Work further subcontracted by a similarly situated certified SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractor counts towards this limit.
• Construction: Separate limitations apply for general construction (85%) and special trade construction contractors (75%), excluding the cost of materials.
• Penalties: False certifications are subject to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties, including prosecution under 18 U.S.C. 1001.
• Compliance Verification: Offerors may be required to provide documentation (invoices, subcontracts) to demonstrate compliance during contract performance and upon completion.
• Required Submission: The completed and signed certification must be returned with the offeror's bid, quotation, or proposal. Offers without this certification will be deemed ineligible.

This is a mandatory certification for all offerors. Failure to complete and submit this form with your proposal will result in your offer being considered ineligible for award. Bidders must understand and agree to the subcontracting limitations applicable to the contract type (services or construction) to ensure compliance if awarded the contract.
