TABLE VII: EXAMPLES The following examples are known contracting scenarios from DOL experience and DON field non-construction contracts that also contain some construction work. These are not all-inclusive and are provided only to demonstrate the decision process outlined in this Guide. The examples begin with Step 1P1 from , because this is the appropriate point at which to determine whether the requirement involves any construction work. The examples then continue with Steps 2P1 through 2P6 from . Decision Matrix Step 1P1 2P1 2P2 2P3 2P4 2P5 2P6 Examples Does the requirement involve any work? Is all the to be performed on a naval vessel? Is any of the work to be performed inside of the 50 United States or DC? Does the Government estimate indicate that the value of the work exceeds the threshold for construction? Is the work on a ? Does the contract contain a amount of work to be performed? Can the work be from the non-construction work? Action relative to DBA coverage.
