2. Has a contractor performed similar work to this for the Government in the past?

This is not a new requirement for the Government.

3. Is there an incumbent? See the answer provided for questions 1, 2, and 2a above.

The current requirement does not meet the requirements for Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers Under Service Contracts (FAR 22.1203-2(a)) because it does not exceed the SAT. The current contractor-provided employee is adequately qualified for the position, is familiar with the tasks and duties of this requirement, and is not otherwise objectionable to the Government.

The applicable Wage Determination for this requirement is 05- 2061 (Rev.-17) dated 29 December 2015. A copy of this Wage Determination will be incorporated by Amendment 02.
