The clause reads, in part, as follows: "Limitations on Subcontracting (Dec 1996)...

At least 50 percent of the cost of contract Performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of the concern... ".

Teaming and/or subcontracting arrangements should be clearly delineated and previous experience in teaming must be provided. Attention all potential respondents: The acquisition strategy for this program has not been finalized.
