About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document (Amendment A00003) for solicitation 70Z03825QK0000001 addressing two key questions related to the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and pricing terms.
The first question clarifies that the new contractor must enter into their own CBA as soon as possible after assuming the contract, rather than waiting for the current CBA's expiration in 2027. The second question addresses pricing expectations, confirming that contractors should use current CBA rates from Attachment 5 for pricing. The government will not incorporate FAR 52.216-4 for Economic Price Adjustment; instead, FAR 52.222-43 will apply, allowing contractors to request equitable adjustments if CBA rates increase. However, if contractors include escalated pricing in their Schedule of Services, they forfeit the right to increases based on CBA changes.

A00003 to 70Z03825QK0000001 Questions and Answers
Solicitation Document Question
1.
Attachment 5
CBA
Please clarify if it is the Governments expectation that the new contractor negotiates a new CBA agreement after the date listed in attachment 5? The current CBA is through 2027.
Answer: It is expected that the new contractor enters into their own Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) as soon as possible after assuming the contract. The contractor should not wait until the expiration of the current CBA (Attachment 5) to enter into their own
CBA.
2.
What is the expectation for pricing ? Will the government consider an Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) for 2028 – 2030 for pricing in attachment 1? This is in accordance to FAR 52.216-4 Economic Price Adjustment-Labor and Material. Please clarify pricing expectations for the option periods not covered in the current CBA.
Answer: The contractor should provide pricing with the current CBA rates provided in Attachment 5 of the solicitation. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.216-4 will not be incorporated in this contract, instead, in accordance with (IAW) 52.222-43, Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Labor Standards-Price Adjustment (Multiple Year and Option Contracts) (Aug 2018) (29 U.S.C. 206 and 41 U.S.C. chapter 67). Therefore, should the CBA increase, the contractor is responsible to request an equitable adjustment from the Government for the allowable price elements. If the o eror provides escalated pricing in their Schedule of Services, that o eror will not be entitled to an increase should the CBA increase.
