On a federal laundry service contract, the wage determination is the document that sets the labor floor, and it varies by locality and labor category. A provider that prices without reading it is guessing at the largest cost in the bid.
What the determination sets
A wage determination lists the minimum wage and benefit rates by labor category for the locality of the contract, issued under the Service Contract Act. A federal laundry service solicitation attaches the applicable determination, and the labor categories map to the laundry roles.
Why it decides the bid
The determination is the floor for the labor cost, so reading it correctly is the difference between a priced bid and an underbid. The agent extracts the determination, the labor categories, and the locality and presents them with the solicitation so the labor is built from the right numbers.
How the agent handles it
Our agent reads the wage determination attached to each federal laundry service solicitation, maps the labor categories to the work, and scores the fit for a service provider against the locality and the staffing it requires.
The agent pulls the wage determination that sets the federal labor floor onto one screen. See the federal and military laundry bid agent in the interactive demo.
