4. Limitations on Subcontracting: The procurement is now a 100% Total Small Business SetAside under NAICS 236220. Please confirm whether FAR 52.219-14 applies to this procurement and, if so, the applicable compliance basis for this general-construction contract.
For General Construction, FAR 52.219-14 establishes these performance rules: •
•

•

The prime contractor must self-perform at least 15% of the contract value, calculated excluding materials.
Equivalently, no more than 85% of the contract price (excluding materials) may be paid to subcontractors who are not similarly situated (i.e., not small business concerns under the same NAICS code).
This performance requirement ensures that a substantial portion of the work remains in the hands of the prime small business.

5. Reliance on Team/Subcontractor Experience: Section L requires key personnel, subcontracting staff, and past performance/relevant experience. May an offeror rely on the relevant experience and past performance of committed proposed subcontractors/team members when demonstrating technical acceptability, or must the cited project past performance have been performed under the offeror’s own prime contracts? Yes—you may rely on the relevant experience and past performance of proposed subcontractors or team members when demonstrating technical acceptability, as long as they are firmly committed and will perform major or critical aspects of the work as part of the offeror's proposal.

6. Bonding: The solicitation summary states that bid, performance, and payment bonding “may be required,” while the amended clauses include FAR 52.228-15 and also FAR 52.228-13. Please confirm exactly which bid guarantee, performance bond, payment bond, or alternative payment protection is required, the required percentage/amount, and when each must be submitted.
If your bid is under 150,000 adhere to 52.228-13 and if it is over $150,000 adhere to 52.228-15. 52.288-15 are applicable for construction contracts that exceeds $150,000, you must require:
