The Service Contract Act (SCA) is applicable to this contract as it applies to the entire Environmental Schedule and all services provided. While no specific labor categories have been identified as being subject to SCA due to exemptions for professional employees (FAR 22.1101, 22.1102, and 29 CFR 541.300), this contract still maintains the provisions and protections for SCA eligible labor categories. If and/or when the contractor adds SCA labor categories/employees to the contract through the modification process, the contractor must inform the Contracting Officer and establish a SCA Matrix identifying the GSA labor category titles, the occupational code, SCA labor category title and the applicable wage determination number. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of the contract
