The SCA sets a per-hour minimum (wage + H&W) on every hour paid — including paid holidays and vacation — and EO 13706 adds up to 56 hours of paid sick leave a year. Spread over the hours a worker is actually on site, that gives the true floor per hour worked:
Assumptions shown so you can change them: full-time 40 h/week; 8-hour paid holidays; vacation at the 1-year level (a successor contractor inherits the incumbent workforce's service, so long-tenured staff may be due more weeks); every leave hour used. Still excluded: employer FICA (7.65%), FUTA/SUTA, workers' comp, supervision, supplies, equipment, overhead, G&A and profit.
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.
