Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a worksheet designed to assist prime contractors in calculating the Limitation on Subcontracting Percentage, specifically related to FAR Clause 52.219-14. It provides a method for calculating the subcontracting labor cost percentage.

• Calculation Method: The worksheet outlines a step-by-step process for calculating the subcontracting percentage. This involves:
  • Adding Direct Labor, Fringe Benefits, and G&A costs for both the prime contractor and subcontractor.
  • Calculating Labor G&A for both parties.
  • Summing these costs to determine total labor costs.
  • Using a formula: Subcontracting Labor Cost Percentage = (D) / ((C) + (D)).
• Input Fields: Spaces are provided for Prime Contractor and Subcontractor names, dates, and whether the subcontractor is similarly situated.
• Notes: Important considerations include the allowability of labor overhead (FAR 31.205-6(m)), the definition of G&A (General and Administrative Costs), and guidance on using subcontractor cost breakdowns versus the total subcontracting amount.

This worksheet is crucial for bidders to understand and demonstrate compliance with the Limitation on Subcontracting clause. It guides how to calculate and potentially report the percentage of work that will be performed by the prime contractor versus subcontractors. Bidders may need to complete or use this worksheet as part of their proposal submission to show how they will meet subcontracting requirements.
