SERVICE CONTRACT ACT) CERTIFICATION

If O eror is seeking an exemption from Service Contract Labor Standards, check the box for the applicable exemption below and certify to it at the end of this form.

Exemption Under FAR 52.222-48: Exemption from Application of the Service Contract Labor Standards to Contracts for Maintenance, Calibration, or Repair of Certain Equipment- Certification

(a) The o eror shall check the following certification:

Certification

The o eror does does not certify that-

(1) The items of equipment to be serviced under this contract are used regularly for other than Government purposes, and are sold or traded by the o eror (or subcontractor in the case of an exempt subcontractor) in substantial quantities to the general public in the course of normal business operations;

(2) The services will be furnished at prices which are, or are based on, established catalog or market prices for the maintenance, calibration, or repair of equipment.

(i) An "established catalog price" is a price included in a catalog, price list, schedule, or other form that is regularly maintained by the manufacturer or the o eror, is either published or otherwise available for inspection by customers, and states prices at which sales currently, or were last, made to a significant number of buyers constituting the general public.

(ii) An "established market price" is a current price, established in the usual course of trade between buyers and sellers free to bargain, which can be substantiated from sources independent of the manufacturer or o eror; and

(3) The compensation (wage and fringe benefits) plan for all service employees performing work under the contract are the same as that used for these employees and equivalent employees servicing the same equipment of commercial customers.

(b) Certification by the o eror as to its compliance with respect to the contract also constitutes its certification as to compliance by its subcontractor if it subcontracts out the exempt services. If the o eror certifies to the conditions in paragraph (a) of this provision, and the Laboratory Procurement O icial determines in accordance with FAR 22.1003-4(c)(3) that the Service Contract Labor Standards statute-

(1) Will not apply to this o eror, then the Service Contract Labor Standards clause in this solicitation will not apply in any resultant contract to this o eror; or

(2) Will apply to this o eror, then the clause at 52.222-51, Exemption from Application of the Service Contract Labor Standards to Contracts for Maintenance, Calibration, or Repair of Certain Equipment-Requirements, in this solicitation will not apply in any resultant contract awarded to this o eror, and the o eror may be provided an opportunity to submit a new o er on that basis.
