Question 1: Is there a page limitation for the technical write-up, Factor 1?

Government Answer 1: There is no page limitation.

Question 2: Please provide the labor category for wage determination purposes.

Government Answer 2: Laboror(Shipwright) at 17.75. Executive order is applicable when a specific Labor code/ title is not called out on the list for a contract awarded on or after 1/30/2022. The EO applies a min of $17.75 for contracts performed in 2025.

That being said, this is a minimum and may not reflect an industry standard for this type of position. Unfortunately, in terms of completing fill-ins for FAR clause 52.222-42 we cannot assign an arbitrary equivalent rate although it would likely fall under a Mechanics And Maintenance And Repair Occupations occupation code. It is recommended to stay above the minimum and bid reflective of a wage consistent with industry standards for a highly qualified shipwright.
