Not a bid price. These are the legal minimums the Service Contract Act requires you to pay each worker. They exclude payroll taxes, workers' compensation, supplies, equipment, supervision, overhead, G&A and profit. BidBrief never states a bid price. The wage determination attached to your solicitation governs: it may be a different revision, or a collective-bargaining (CBA) wage determination where a union incumbent exists.
