Answer: Minimum of One



Please clarify the requirement for an Associate s degree or higher given the applicability of 52.222-41 Service Contract Labor Standards and the references to Occupation Codes 01011-01013.  SCLS covered positions are non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and are, therefore, non-degreed.  The Department of Labor Director of Occupations Fifth Edition description of Occupation Codes 01011-01013 do not describe tasking requiring advanced education/degree level training; thus the salary levels associated with those Occupation Codes are not at the appropriate level for degreed professionals.
