SecurityFirst's last post relays a question from a prospective bidder that was presented to the government's contracting officer. The bidder points to the CBA and basically asks if wage increases should be incorporated according to the CBA.
A careful reading of the solitication, however, reveals that TSA has exempted TSO's, LTSO's and STSO's from the SCA (Service Contract Act).
The solicitation uses a phrase like "in accordance with the ATSA", but in my humble opinion they are making it up! They don't reference where in the ATSA is a waiver of the Service Contract Act. I certaintly can't find it.
The solicitation is long but that doesn't mean it's done properly.

I saw that clause as well. I couldn't find the reference clause anywhere in that document about the question the prospective contractor asked.
ReplyDeleteAnd since this was created by government bureaucrats that automatically makes it improperly done.
