Fringe benefits this WD requires

Health & welfare (H&W): $5.92 per hour paid, up to 40 hours/week (or $236.80/week or $1,026.13/month). On contracts also covered by EO 13706 (paid sick leave — any SCA contract awarded (and, if solicited, whose solicitation was issued) on or after Jan 1, 2017, i.e. essentially every new bid) the H&W rate is $5.42/hr instead, and you get no SCA credit for the sick leave you provide. H&W can be paid as cash in the paycheck or through bona fide benefits.
Paid sick leave (EO 13706): 1 hour for every 30 hours worked, up to 56 hours a year.
Vacation: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor; 3 weeks after 8 years, and 4 weeks after 20 years. Length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (29 CFR 4.173)
Holidays: A minimum of eleven paid holidays per year: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (A contractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (29 CFR 4.174)
EO 13658 minimum wage: the WD notes that contracts still under Executive Order 13658 (awarded Jan 1, 2015 – Jan 29, 2022 and not renewed/extended since) must pay at least $13.65/hr; every rate above already exceeds it. This WD carries no EO 14026 minimum-wage note; check your contract's clauses if it was awarded 2022–2025.

How to compute the loaded labor floor (show the math)

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:

Janitor (11150), one full-time worker, EO 13706-covered contract Hourly floor $17.35 wage + $5.42 H&W = $22.77/hr Paid hours per year 40 h x 52 wk = 2,080 h (holiday, vacation and sick hours are paid hours) Minimum annual cost 2,080 h x $22.77 = $47,361.60 Hours actually worked 2,080 - 88 holiday (11 x 8 h) - 80 vacation (2 wk at 1 yr) - 56 sick (EO 13706 max) = 1,856 h Floor per hour worked $47,361.60 / 1,856 h = $25.52/hr

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.
