Workshare, exclusivity and flow-down terms that survive limitations-on-subcontracting review
What wins points

What gets bids disqualified
Exceeding allowed subcontracting percentages or failing to certify small‑business status leads to non‑responsive proposals (S18, S5).
Evaluator's view
Check that the workshare % placeholder does not exceed the FAR 52.219-14 limit and that any subcontractor meets Part 19 size‑standard.
Teaming Agreement Outline
What this is
A fill‑in‑the‑blank outline for a teaming agreement that governs workshare, exclusivity and flow‑down terms, ensuring compliance with FAR 52.219-14 limitations on subcontracting and small‑business set‑aside rules (Part 19).
When you need it
Used when responding to solicitations that require a subcontractor or joint venture, especially for set‑aside contracts where limiting the amount of work passed to lower‑tier subcontractors is mandatory (FAR 52.219-14). Required during proposal preparation before final submission.
How to fill it in
- Identify prime and subcontractor(s) – List names, DUNS/UEI, SAM registration status.
- Define the workshare percentage – Ensure that total subcontracted work does not exceed the limitation in FAR 52.219-14 (cite S18). Place a placeholder “[PERCENT]%” and verify against solicitation limits.
- State exclusivity requirements – If the solicitation requires exclusive use of the prime’s resources, note “Yes/No” and reference the clause.
- Flow‑down clauses – Insert required FAR clauses that must be flowed down to each subcontractor (e.g., 52.219-14, 52.212‑1). Use placeholders for clause numbers if solicitation‑specific.
- Small‑business considerations – Verify that any subcontracted portion complies with set‑aside rules in Part 19 (cite S5). Indicate whether the subcontractor meets size‑standard requirements.
- Signatures and dates – Provide signature lines for each party and date of execution.
