The solicitation applies a Service Contract Act wage determination (DOL 2015-5411, Revision 28, effective May 12, 2026) for Wyoming counties of Campbell, Crook, Johnson, Sheridan, and Weston, with prevailing wage rates ranging from $11.31 per hour for Waiter/Waitress positions to $60.13 per hour for Nuclear Medicine Technologists. All service employees receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour for health and welfare (or $5.09 per hour under Executive Order 13706), plus vacation entitlements of two to four weeks based on tenure and a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually. Special provisions include computer employees exempt from wage requirements, night and Sunday pay differentials for air traffic controllers and weather observers, hazardous pay differentials of four to eight percent for ordnance and explosives work, and uniform allowance reimbursement. A conformance process via Standard Form 1444 applies for classifying unlisted employee positions, requiring contractor proposal within 30 days of contract commencement and Department of Labor approval within 30 days thereafter.

The prime contractor may not pay more than 50 percent of the government payment amount to non-VIP-listed Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses or Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, with further subcontracting by similarly situated VIP-listed subcontractors counting toward this limitation. Offerors must submit a formal subcontracting limitations certification with their bid; failure to provide certification renders the offer ineligible for evaluation and award. Non-compliance may result in referral to the VA Suspension and Debarment Committee, fines under the Small Business Act, or criminal prosecution under Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001.
