Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a worksheet designed to assist bidders in calculating the subcontracting labor percentage in accordance with FAR Clause 52.219-14, Subcontracting Percentage Worksheet. It provides instructions for calculating this percentage, which is a requirement for the solicitation.

• Calculation Instructions: Provides a step-by-step guide to calculate the subcontracting labor percentage by adding Direct Labor, Fringe Benefits, and G&A costs for both the prime contractor and subcontractor.
• Formula: Presents the formula for calculating the SUBCONTRACTING LABOR COST PERCENTAGE: (D) / ((C) + (D)).
• FAR Clause Reference: Explicitly references FAR Clause 52.219-14, General construction, which mandates that no more than 85 percent of the contract performance cost (excluding materials) can be paid to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. This means a minimum of 15 percent of the work must be performed by the prime contractor or similarly situated entities.
• Definitions: Clarifies terms such as G&A (General and Administrative Costs).
• Notes on Allowability: Highlights that labor overhead must be allowable per FAR 31.205-6(m) to be included in calculations.

This calculation is crucial for proposal preparation and may impact the evaluation and award of the contract. Failure to comply with the subcontracting requirements can lead to the elimination of overhead costs from calculations.
