ARTICLE 20. DISPUTES
A. Good-Faith Negotiations. If any dispute arises under this agreement that
is not settled promptly in the ordinary course of business, the parties
shall seek to resolve any such dispute between them, first, by
negotiating promptly with each other in good faith in face-to-face
negotiations. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 20
business days (or such period as the parties shall otherwise agree)
through these face-to-face negotiations, then any such dispute shall be
resolved in the following manner.
B. Excluded Causes. If the only dispute relates to unpaid fees, costs or
other charges, the party owed the money may commence legal action in
court for outstanding monies due under this Agreement.
C. Binding Alternative Dispute Resolution. Any remaining dispute arising
under this Agreement shall be resolved by using alternative dispute
resolution (ADR) procedures, which can hopefully avoid or reduce the
acrimony resulting from adversarial litigation. If the efforts through
face-to-face negotiations in paragraph A., above, are not successful,
the parties will initiate a mini-trial (ADR) process with selection of a
neutral advisor, who will schedule a mini-trial to occur approximately
30 business days after the selection of the neutral advisor. The neutral
advisor will introduce an impartial opinion approximately 15 business
days after completion of the mini-trial. Throughout the ADR process, the
neutral advisor will provide an element of mediation with the goal of
having the parties resolve the dispute without issuance of the impartial
opinion. However, if agreement is not reached by the parties, the
impartial opinion rendered by the neutral advisor will be binding and
judgment upon that opinion may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof. The parties may elect to use an
arbitration/mediation service which specializes in timely ADR,

ARTICLE 20. COMMERCIAL OFF THE SHELF (COTS) PRODUCTS AND DATA STANDARDIZATION
A. Background
1. The Government intends to use international, industry,
government, DoD, and Military Health Systems (MHS) standards to
promote the efficient and unambiguous exchange of information
with required government and commercial systems. In addition,
the government must understand the meaning and context of the
data being captured and processed to ensure a common
understanding of the data being exchanged.
2. Congress defined performance measures to assess progress toward
information technology goals in the National Defense
Authorization Action for Fiscal Year 1995 to ensure that the DoD
receives the maximum benefit possible from development,
modernization, operation, and maintenance of automated
information systems (AISs). Section 381 paragraph 1.3.2 of this
Act specifically establishes measures for data standardization
to include the number and percentage of DoD standard data
elements that are used in migration programs. The paragraph
further states that this can be done through actual use of DoD
standard data elements of the mapping of non-standard data to
DoD standard data.
3. Therefore, it is the purchasing organizations responsibility to
ensure the COTS software vendor provides the following minimum
information in the form of data dictionary to DoD Health
Affairs: the logical data element name, its definition that
describes the meaning and the context of the data element in the
system, the domain of the data element (the allowable values),
the data type, length and unit of measure if applicable. Any
data element acronym or abbreviation must be spelled out clearly
in the definition. The vendor is required to submit this data
dictionary using the MHS Health Import Tool (HITool) which can
be obtained from MHS Health Data Program Web Site. This tool
ensures that Health Affairs has the necessary data element
information in a useable format. In addition, the vendor will be
required to assist Health Affairs in reporting the metric
described above. These requirements are described in paragraph
below entitled "COTS Software Data Requirements.

software. to satisfy functional requirements.
C. COTS Software Data Requirements. Prior to final agreement and purchase,
the COTS software vendor shall provide a data dictionary which includes
the following information for each functional data element in the
software: the logical data element name; its definition that describes
the meaning and the context of the data element in the system; the
domain of the data element (the allowable values); the data type, length
and a unit of measure if applicable. The vendor is required to submit
this data dictionary using MHS Health Import Tool (HITool) which can be
obtained from ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇/. In addition, the vendor
will be required to provide additional information for clarification of
the individual data element meaning and context to assist Health Affairs

DEPLOYMENT, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) (OASD(HA)) has
a requirement to provide support for ongoing and future health care programs.
This requirement is known as the Defense Medical Information Management/Systems
Integration, Design, Development, Operations and Maintenance Services
(D/SIDDOMS) II. D/SIDDOMS II is an expanded requirement to the current D/SIDDOMS
contract. The resultant contracts will be Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite
Quantity (IDIQ) type contracts for use by all components of the Military Health
Services System (MHSS) to support their medical information management systems
needs. It may also be made available to other agencies to use appropriate
support capabilities required by the Department of Defense to accomplish its
Health Affairs mission.
1.2 Contract Type
The resultant contracts will be IDIQ style contracts. The Government anticipates
the use of multiple contract types on a Delivery Order (DO) basis.
1.3 Award
The D/SIDDOMS II program consists of four (4) Lots. Each Lot is being
implemented as a separate procurement. The intent is to award multiple contracts
for all Lots, based on the quality of the proposals and availability of funds.
It is also the intent that Lot IV be set aside for small businesses. Each Lot is
designed to meet specific needs in the overall system life cycle. Procurement
IV, TSS, is a 100% small business set aside. The four Lots and their
corresponding RFP identifiers are:
Lot I - Functional Area Support (FAS) DASW01-97-R-0051

1.5 Scope
D/SIDDOMS II will cover a wide spectrum of specific functional and information
technology functions for all Information Management/Information Technology
(IM/IT) and related requirements within the MHSS. D/SIDDOMS II will utilize
highly skilled personnel and processes in performance of all IM/IT and related
functions. At a minimum, services will consist of the following: studies,
functional requirements definition, systems engineering, database design, data
administration, software customization, communications, networking, user
support/problem resolution, product support, training, IT reengineering support,
technology evaluation, technology insertion/refreshment, operations,
installation/reinstallation, maintenance/repair, configuration and inventory
management. The Government anticipates tonal system solutions, as directed by
individual DO, to include all necessary hardware, software, local communications
and related expenses to meet the functional and technical requirements.
1.6 Background
1.6.1 The TRICARE Program
DoD operates one of the nation's largest health cam systems. With more than 8
million people eligible to receive case through the MHSS, it has a vital mission
in both wartime and peacetime. The wartime mission is to provide medical support
to active-duty military members in preparation for and during wartime or other
contingencies. The peacetime mission is to maintain the health of the 1.7
million people on active duty and m provide medical care to more than 6 million
non-active-duty beneficiaries at Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) or at
civilian facilities under the TRICARE program.
TRICARE is the DoD regional, managed care program for active-duty and retired
members of the uniformed services, their families, and their survivors.
Congress, in the National Defense Authorization Act of 1994, directed DoD to
proscribe and implement a health benefit option for beneficiaries eligible for
health case under Chapter 55 of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Code. The program was
modeled on health maintenance organization (HMO) plans offered in the private
sector and other similar Government health insurance programs. In addition
beneficiaries who enroll in the health benefit option would have reduced
out-of-pocket costs and a uniform benefit structure. Congress further directed
that the costs to DoD would be no greater than those normally incurred to
provide health care to the covered beneficiaries who enroll in the option.
To conform with the directives in the 1994 Authorization Act, DoD developed a
regional managed health care strategy, in cooperation with the Services, that
restructures the MHSS into 12 CONUS health services regions. Two additional
overseas regions that encompass Europe and the Pacific region have been
established. Each region is administered by a Lead Agent. Responsibilities of
the Lead Agent include collaborating with the other MTF commanders within the
region to develop an integrated plan for delivering health case for their
beneficiaries. Regional TRICARE plans are being put in place, and procurement
schedules have been developed to support these initiatives. The TRICARE program
is expected to be implemented fully throughout the United States in calendar
year 1997 (CY97).
In the TRICARE environment, the MHSS must maximize health care dollars by
continuing to examine all options for meeting the legal requirements to provide
quality and timely preventive health care to DoD beneficiaries. TRICARE, through
employment of a flexible delivery structure, must complement the readiness
mission to ensure that the medical sustaining base can fully support deployed
forces and absorb additional patient workload without sacrificing access and
high-quality care delivery to all nondeployed beneficiaries.
While TRICARE is a medical force multiplier, it will also demand greater
attention from IM/IT for data standardization and interoperability to ensure
that the distributed computer-based patient records (CPRs) are easily accessed
and totally compatible around the world. Special contractual and security
arrangements will be necessary to ensure that TRICARE support contractor systems
can support the distributed CPR capability with standardized data, allow
authorized users to have ready access to MHSS hosted portions of individual
CPRs, and support fast response to MHSS originated CPR and case assessment
queries.
J.1 - 2
55
1.6.2 The MHSS
The MHSS uses information management/information technology capabilities to
assist the MTFs in the delivery of quality patient care to the population served
within the MHSS. Over 100 automated information systems (AISs) in the MHSS are
in the process of being migrated to a small number ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇) based target migration systems. The MTFs have a wide range of physical
configuration ranging from small offices with a few workstations and dial-in
communications to clinics with local area networks (LANs) with moderate external
connectivity to large hospitals with extensive internal LANs and external
connectivity. Data handling needs also vary tremendously from moderate text and
office automation needs through video conferencing to large medical imagery
files.
The environment of the MHSS is significantly different than civilian health care
delivery systems. Several points are presented to illustrate the differences.
a. The MHSS mission is to maintain the health status of the members of
the armed force, their families and others entitled to DoD health care
by providing total inpatient and outpatient care and to maintain medical
readiness to support mobilization.
b. A significant feature of the MHSS is the volume of outpatient care
provided at MTFs. Unlike the civilian health care delivery systems,
where private physicians provide the bulk: of outpatient care in their
office, DoD provides this ambulatory care to the entitled population in
hospital clinics and remote support clinics using primarily hospital
staff.
e. The MHSS includes over 100 hospitals and major clinics and more than
500 separately located other medical facilities throughout the world in
addition to the TRICARE providers/facilities.
The Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) (ASD(HA)) oversees all
aspects of the MHSS Program. In addition, the ASD(HA) works with the individual
Military Departments and obtains support from non-DoD Government agencies and
civilian Contractor(s).
In view of both the number and diversity of organizations processing military
hospital information. as well as the fact that major information processing
requirements among these organizations are similar, the general automation
approach is to centralize and coordinate the application development using
appropriate open systems technology and standards and the MHSS Infrastructure.
The MHSS Infrastructure was developed to provide a common set of standardized
interfaces across platforms and configurations to facilitate communications,
data and resource sharing among defense medical systems. Standardized systems
are being developed by defining common requirements and implementing
standardized system capabilities while supporting Service-unique needs.
In October 1989, the Deputy Secretary of Defense established the Corporate
Information Management (CIM) initiative. This initiative is primary objectives
and goals were to promote data standardization, quality and consistency, to
eliminate duplication of effort in the development and maintenance of software,
and to improve effectiveness in the Information Resource Management (IRM) life
cycle. The process led to the identification and selection of Fifty-two
medical/health migration systems and a goal of the eventual elimination of all
associated legacy systems. The final vision of the MHSS is based on information
management/information technology strategic planning centered around the
evolution to a business area focus, emphasizing critical functional areas using
functional, technical and data standardization.
J.1 - 3
56
1.6.3 The Functional Architecture
The functional architecture, as shown in Figure 1, Health Functional
Architecture, groups the Health functions into four major business areas:
Clinical, Logistics, Resources. and Executive Information/Decision Support. Each
of these four business areas will be supported by an information system
capability that will be a compendium of standards-based and integrated
commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), Government-off-the-shelf (GOTS), or, if no
alternative exists. MHSS-developed functional applications. These system
capabilities include the Composite Health Care System II (CHCS II), Defense
Medical Logistics Standard Support II (DMLSS II), Health Standard Resources
System (HSRS), and Corporate Executive Information System (CEIS).
The MHSS also interfaces with other DoD mission support areas, such as
Personnel. Finance. Logistics, and Transportation. These nonmedical functions
are important to effectively and efficiently meet the full mission of the MHSS
and are represented by the nonmedical area notation in Figure 1.
Business and mission needs drive the IM/IT requirements from Business Process
Reengineering (BPR) to MHSS Program Objective Memorandum (POM) development,
budget execution, and IM/IT strategic planning. IT investment provides a force
multiplier to ensure that the information needs of the MHSS are met by providing
the right information to the right location at the right time.
Figure 1 - Health Functional Architecture
[OPERATIONAL CONTINUUM GRAPHIC]
J.1 - 4
57
Functional requirements are derived from business needs, thereby building the
basis for MHSS IM/IT support requirements. BPR and functional process
improvement outputs are used to build the requirements that drive IM/IT. Mapping
of functional requirements is an important Step to ensuring that the
requirements are addressed only once and that like requirements from different
functional processes are aggregated and addressed in one technical area.
1.6.4 MHSS Information Management Strategic Principles
The MHSS Information Management/Information Technology Program is based on the
following principles:
Information management entails planning, programming, benefits
estimation, funding, deployment, implementation, and benefits
realization and is the responsibility of all managers throughout the
MHSS consistent with centrally developed policy.
Information management will support comparable performance measurements
across the Military Services and the private sector.
Information will be managed so it improves the understanding of how to
effectively and efficiently provide health services so that informed
choices can be made by providers and beneficiaries based on the
recognition of best value.
Information architecture will be maintained so that computing and
communications infrastructure components are interchangeable,
interoperable, and transparent to the user.
Information will be available when and where needed and protected from
unintentional or unauthorized alteration, destruction. or disclosure.
Operational efficiency will be accomplished. whenever possible, using
process reengineering to simplify and integrate common functions before
investing in new or additional information technology.
Common functions will be supported by single, integrated information
management approaches, consisting of uniform data sets. processes, and
technical standards.
New business and information management processes will be validated
through maximum use of prototyping before system-wide deployment.
Whenever practical. competitive bidding will be used to obtain
off-the-shelf products for information management from the most
cost-effective sources, rather than new development.
Processes will be engineered so that data is entered only once, at the
point of origin.
Information management capabilities will offer consistent presentation,
will be easy to use, and will be acceptable to users.
Information management capabilities will be deployed incrementally to
accelerate uniform benefit realization for all MHSS beneficiaries.
1.6.5 Emerald City
Health Affairs has developed a vision called Emerald City, with a complete set
of strategic and Automated Information System (AIS) plans in support of the
goals of military medicine and the Military Health Services System (MHSS) in the
year 2000 and beyond.
The Emerald City vision encompasses several key points:
J.1 - 5
58
1) FOCUS IS ON MEDICAL READINESS
Medical readiness encompasses the ability to mobilize, deploy, and sustain field
medical services and support all operations requiring military services; to
maintain and project the continuum of health care resources required to provide
for the health of the force; and to operate in conjunction with beneficiary
health care.
The goal of the MHSS is to support military medical readiness by
positioning the MHSS to adapt rapidly to change, to be responsive, and
to be flexible in its capability to support all users in all operational
settings-worldwide. The core IM/IT areas that are critical in providing
the flexible, responsive services necessary to meet MHSS needs include-
Business process reengineering (BPR)
Cross business area functional requirements integration
MHSS infrastructure standardization
Data standardization and implementation
Automated information system (AIS) migration
DoD-wide systems integration and open systems standards conformance that
incorporates accessibility for individuals with disabilities
A common operating environment (▇▇▇)
Performance measurements tailored to the Health business area
Information security
2) COMPATIBLE WITH GCCS AND GCSS
The MHSS technical architecture is based on the Technical Architecture Framework
for Information Management (TAFIM) client/server model and open systems
specifications that support cost-effective interoperability and scalability, the
identification of the components and services that implement the IM/IT goals,
and the development of a framework within which the systems interoperate. The
technical architecture consists of three tiers: presentation, application, and
data. The enabling framework for the technical architecture is the Health
Information Infrastructure (HII). The HII is based on the open systems
specifications contained in the Technical Architecture Framework for Information
Management (TAFIM), the Joint Technical Architecture (JTA), the Defense
Information Infrastructure (DII) Strategic Enterprise Architecture, and the
DII/▇▇▇ Integration and Runtime Specification. Implementation of the HII will
ensure that the MHSS is totally integrated and fully compatible with the DII,
DII/▇▇▇, Global Command and Control System (GCCS), Global Combat Support System
(GCSS), and Defense Information Systems Network (DISN).
3) COMPATIBLE WITH DII/▇▇▇
The MHSS ▇▇▇ is being developed from baseline standards and requirements such as
the TAFIM, JTA, and DII ▇▇▇. The DII ▇▇▇ primarily supports the Global Command
and Control System (GCCS) requirements with an emphasis on X-Windows client and
UNIX Server architecture. The MHSS ▇▇▇ will standardize on the Windows NT
client/server model (95% solution) with Unix as an acceptable alternative. It
will provide the MHSS "medical-variant" architectural principles, guidelines,
and methodologies for the development of MHSS applications software by
capitalizing on a thorough and cohesive set of infrastructure support services.
4) SUPPORTS FULL OPERATIONAL CONTINUUM
The MHSS must support the full operational continuum from the sustaining base to
the deployed unit. Scalability, flexibility, and reliability are critical
requirements for the deployed MHSS AISs to ensure that the MHSS is fully
functional and provides support for the full range of user needs in
theater/contingency and operations other than war.
Capabilities must be built into the systems and stress tested regularly during
training exercises using the deployable asset configurations to ensure that the
systems function properly and that they can be used effectively. User interface
with the systems must be standardized to ensure that system use in the theater
configuration is consistent with the peacetime operation so that no special
training is required under deployment conditions.
J.1 - 6
59
Functional requirements may vary between theater/contingency and operations
other than war. Therefore, support packages with defined capabilities must be
established for specified scenarios. Unneeded functionality must be easy to
remove to ensure that the deployed systems (hardware and software) are "lean and
mean" in weight and cube yet are capable of supporting all required
functionality for the deployed mission.
5) REQUIRES DATA, TECHNICAL AND FUNCTIONAL STANDARDIZATION
Standardization efforts are ongoing through the development of the Health
Functional Architecture, the MHSS enterprise technical architecture, and the DoD
data standardization effort. The approach to MHSS AIS migration is based on the
following basic concepts:
Support for the readiness mission is an essential and integral part of
each MHSS AIS. Common sharable: resources that form the HII ▇▇▇ include
the following:
Communications
Hardware
Common operating system software
Utility functions
An integrated database environment
Standardized data
Systems are composed of applications, external systems interfaces, and
subject area databases.
6) SUPPORTS RAPID ELIMINATION OF LEGACY SYSTEMS
Health Affairs has initiated action to significantly reduce the total number of
existing MHSS migration systems. The MHSS IM/IT strategic direction is
considered to be feasible, cost effective, functionally efficient, and
consistent with the anticipated DoD direction and future MHSS needs. In this
revised structure, MHSS functionality has been grouped into four major
functional categories (business areas) capable of supporting the deployed and
peacetime/sustaining base environments. The Health Functional Architecture
groups the Health functions into four major business areas: Clinical, Logistics,
Resources, and Executive Information/Decision Support. Each of these four
business areas will be supported by an information system capability that will
be a compendium of standards-based and integrated commercial off-the-shelf
(COTS), Government-off-the-shelf (GOTS), or, if no alternative exists,
MHSS-developed functional applications. These system capabilities include the
Composite Health Care System II (CHCS II), Defense Medical Logistics Standard
Support II (DMLSS II), Health Standard Resources System (HERS). and Corporate
Executive Information System (CEIS). (A fifth category, Theater, contains all
functionality of the four base categories that is relevant and necessary to the
support of any contingency mission, and excludes all functionality not needed in
the theater environment.).
7) USES DISN FOR LONG-HAUL COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT
The MHSS will continue to rely on geographically distributed resources as its
computing environment. These distributed resources include a heterogeneous set
of computers, operating systems, system support software, applications. data,
and communications. DISN and the MHSS Data Communications Network will provide
the information transport services to local and supporting activities and will
offer a seamless and interoperable information transport in support of deployed
forces, including reach-back support. DISN and the MHSS Data Communications
Network will provide communications services that are flexible, interoperable,
survivable, highly available, high capacity, secure, responsive, and capable of
handling surge requirements.
FIGURE 2 - THE EMERALD CITY VISION
J.1 - 7

[OPERATIONAL CONTINUUM GRAPHIC]
1.6.6 MHSS Acquisition Philosophy
Acquisition is one of the enabling tools used to help support the
current MHSS and transition the MHSS to the Emerald City vision. The D/SIDDOMS
II program is one part of the dual element MHSS acquisition philosophy. The two
elements are (1) acquisition of services and support and (2) acquisition of
information technology products. The original D/SIDDOMS contracts are currently
the prime vehicle for MHSS program managers to acquire information management
and information technology related services such as application development,
studies, integration, system deployments, technical management and support, and
operations and maintenance. D/SIDDOMS II will provide enhanced and improved
support of the same nature to support the wide range of users and programs in
the MHSS. The other side of the coin is obtaining information technology
products. MHSS uses both internal and external contracting vehicles for this
purpose, The major internal contracting vehicles are the Support Hardware and
Automation Related Products (SHARP) procurements, one of which was awarded in
January 1997 and the second of which will be awarded approximately mid-1997.
SHARP provides an extensive range of hardware, software and training products
which were specified to meet the needs of a wide cross-section of MHSS users and
programs. An important aspect of the MHSS acquisition philosophy, however, is
that it is more important to adequately meet the needs of the users than it is
to force reliance upon a few contracts. Therefore, although SHARP was developed
specifically to meet MHSS needs, if those needs can be fulfilled better through
the use of other vehicles such as GSA schedules or other government agency
contracts the MHSS acquisition managers will help the users to identify the best
source and execute the purchase. One of the services that will arise from the
D/SIDDOMS II contract is expected to be assistance for users and managers in
identifying the best products and solutions, identifying appropriate sources,
and also helping to improve the acquisition vehicles for MHSS.

UNIFORM ALLOWANCE
If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract
(either by terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state of
local law etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by
laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by
an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the
wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment on accordance
with the following standards as compliance:
The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an
adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the
actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance
is made the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors
subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide
collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the
furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all
employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $4.25 per week (or $.85
cents per day). However, in those instances where the uniforms furnished are
made of "wash and wear" material, may be routinely washed and dried with other
personal garments, and do not require special treatment such as dry cleaning,
daily washing, or commercial laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or
appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract, by the
contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work. there is no requirement that
employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.

Source of Occupational Titles and Descriptions:
The duties of employees under job tides listed are those described in the
"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations," Fourth Edition, January 1993,
as amended by the Second Supplement, dated August 1995, unless otherwise
indicated. This publication may be obtained from the Superintendent of
Documents, at 202-783-323g, or by writing to the superintendent of Documents,
U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Copies of specific job
descriptions may also be obtained from the appropriate contracting officer.
REQUESTS FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE (Standard
Form 1444 (SF 1444)
Conformance Process:
The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which
is not listed herein and which is employed under contract (i.e., the work to be
performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage
determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable
relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted
classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Such
conformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished
the fringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be
initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such
unlisted class(es) of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or
fringe benefits shall be retroactive to the commencement date of the contract.
(See section 4.6 (C) (vi). When multiple wage determinations are included in a
contract, a separate SF 1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to
which a class(es) is to be conformed.
The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:
1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a
conformed occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).
2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing
in order proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency
(FGE) for each proposed classification(s), job description(s), and
rational for proposed wage rate(s), including information regarding the
agreement or disagreement, if the authorized representative of the
employees involved, or where there is no authorized representative, the
employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the contracting
officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees
performs any contract work.
3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits
a report of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and
pertinent information including the position of the contractor and the
employees, to the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards
Administration, U,S. Department of Labor, for review. (See section 4.6
(b) (2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).
4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies
of disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting
officer, or notifies the contracting officer that additional time will
be required to process the request.
5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour decision to the
contractor.
6) The contractor informs the affected employees.
Information required by the Regulations must be submitted of SF 1444 or bond
paper.
When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory of
Occupations" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insure
that duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in
the wage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required
tasks that determine whether a class is included in an established wage
determination. Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or
subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination
