2.0 Service Contract Labor Standards

This solicitation and any resulting contract are subject to the requirements of 41 U.S.C. chapter 67, Service Contract Labor Standards (formerly the Service Contract Act of 1965), and the implementing regulations of the Department of Labor (29 CFR part 4).

Offerors are responsible for correctly mapping their proposed labor categories to the Department of Labor’s Directory of Occupations.

2.1 Evaluation of Price Competition

The Contracting Officer has determined that there is a high probability of adequate price competition for this acquisition. Following the receipt and examination of initial offers, the CO will verify this determination. If, in the opinion of the CO, adequate price competition is present, no further cost or pricing information will be requested from offerors. However, if at any point during the evaluation process it is determined that adequate competition does not exist or is no longer present, the government reserves the right to require offerors to submit additional data.

This information will be used to the extent necessary to allow the Contracting Officer to make a formal determination that the proposed price is fair and reasonable.
