Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a worksheet designed to assist in calculating subcontracting percentages in accordance with FAR Clause 52.219-14, specifically for "General construction." It provides a method for prime contractors to document their compliance with subcontracting limitations.

• Calculation Method: Provides instructions for calculating the subcontracting labor percentage by adding direct labor and fringe benefits, calculating General and Administrative (G&A) costs, and then applying a formula: (D) / ((C) + (D)), where (C) and (D) represent total labor costs for the prime and subcontractor, respectively.
• Input Fields: Requires figures for Direct Labor, Fringe Benefits, and G&A percentages for both the prime contractor and the subcontractor.
• FAR Clause Reference: Explicitly references FAR Clause 52.219-14(e)(3), which states that prime contractors cannot pay more than 85 percent of the government's payment (excluding materials) to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. This means a minimum of 15 percent of the work (excluding materials) must be performed by the prime contractor or similarly situated entities.
• Notes: Includes important caveats regarding the allowability of labor overhead (FAR 31.205-6(m)) and guidance on using total subcontracting amounts if subcontractor cost breakdowns are unavailable.

This worksheet is crucial for bidders to understand and demonstrate compliance with subcontracting requirements. Prime contractors must use this or a similar method to ensure they meet the minimum 15% self-performance requirement (excluding materials) as mandated by FAR 52.219-14. Failure to comply can impact contract performance and payment. Bidders should review this document to understand how their proposed subcontracting plan will be evaluated against this requirement.
