with the FAR Requirements; the team would qualify for award in the set-aside suite.. Upon review of the contract it is noted that FAR Clause 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting is incorporated in both Section G-Task Order Competition and Section I. Since the set-aside suite only includes prime contractors that fit below the $7 million size standard, it would seem impossible for any such prime contractors in this suite to perform 50% of the work on every task order for up to $130 million of the estimated $260 million worth of task orders estimated for the set-aside suite. Are we to interpret this as the small business prime contractor must perform 50% of the work on each and every task order as well as the overall performance under this IDIQ? A149. YES IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAR PART 52.219-14 (Limitations on Subcontracting.), PRIME SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACTORS MUST BE CAPABLE OF PERFORMING IN EXCESS OF 50% OF THE LABOR ON THE CONTRACT. THAT DOES NOT HAVE TO EQUATE TO 50% OF THE INDIVIDUAL TASK ORDER LABOR.
