About this file
This document contains questions and answers related to a federal contract opportunity. The first question asks about the vacation policy, specifically whether the two weeks of vacation is based on 80 hours or the typical 16-hour work week under the contract. The answer directs the vendor to review the Department of Labor's Service Contract Act and Executive Orders 13706 and 14026 for guidance on vacation policies.
The second question asks whether the mandatory contract training must be completed at a designated facility or can be done at the contractor's office. The answer states that the training can be completed at the contractor's office. The third question inquires about accessing PIV (Personal Identity Verification) policies and procedures, and the answer advises the vendor to search for "usda.directive 4620-002" online.
This document does not provide details on the specific federal contract opportunity. It only contains questions and answers related to administrative requirements for the contract.

Question :
1. The EO states, we will be required to provide vacation, two weeks after 1 year of service with a contractor… Does two weeks define as 80 hours or is it only applicable to the amount of a normal work week with this contract (16 hours)?
For example: As stated, in contract requirements 3.0, work will generally take 3 – 4 hours. Work to be completed 2 days per week. The person would work an approximate amount of 8 hours per week, therefor 2 weeks’ vacation would be equivalent to 16 hours.
Answer: As delineated in the wage determination, see website www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts website. It’s the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division. On the page you access, see the following section under Quick Links: WHD Compliance Assistance. Then see under DOL Resources: Summary of Major DOL Laws and Employment Law Guide. Also see the phone number under the Wage and Hour Division: 1-866-487-9243 for the Department of Labor. Also, on the main page under Wage Laws, see the McNamara-O’Hara Service Contract Act (SCA). Finally, on the main page are EOs 13706 and 14026.
Question :
1. Mandatory contract training: It appears this all can be done with AgLearn. Is the contractor required to complete the training at a designated facility or does the contractor have the option to complete at their office?
Answer: This will be completed at your office.
