Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document, Attachment B (Instructions), provides instructions and details regarding the "Performance of Work by the Contractor" clause, which applies to the solicitation and award. It outlines specific requirements for how contractors must perform the work.

• FAR Clause 52.236-1: The core of this attachment is the "Performance of Work by the Contractor" clause. It mandates that contractors perform at least FIFTY (50) percent of the total contract work on-site with their own organization.
• Reduction Clause: The percentage of work may be reduced via a supplemental agreement if requested by the contractor and deemed advantageous to the Government by the Contracting Officer.
• APR 2019 Clause: A more recent version of the clause (APR 2019) is also included, specifying that work accomplished on-site by the contractor's laborers, mechanics, and foremen/superintendents under their direct supervision establishes compliance. The cost of materials and equipment installed by this labor can be included, but the contractor's executive, administrative, and clerical forces are excluded from this calculation.
• Submission Requirement: Contractors must submit, simultaneously with the schedule of costs, a statement designating the portions of contract work to be performed with their own forces. The approved schedule of costs will be used to determine the value of work activities.
• Changes and Non-Compliance: Changes to activity/event identifiers or responsibility codes require Contracting Officer approval. Failure to comply with FAR 52.236-1 can result in the Contracting Officer withholding retention (15% of the value of invoiced work not performed by the prime contractor's workforce).
• Registration and Representations: All contractors must be actively registered in SAM.gov and provide specific representations as prescribed in clause 52.236-1 in Section III and Attachment B.

This attachment is critical for bidders to understand the minimum on-site performance requirements and the specific documentation needed to demonstrate compliance. It directly impacts how proposals are structured and how contract work will be managed and evaluated. Bidders must ensure they can meet the 50% on-site performance requirement and are prepared to submit the required statement of work designation.
