Acq_4_life Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Someone may already have addressed this question, so please forgive me if I am addressing it again. I am administering a 5-year (FFP) contract (AbilityOne award) where the SCA applies. The contractor submitted a request for equitable adjustment based on a revised wage determination increase in health and welfare benefits. I understand that the contractor is free to grant wage or benefit increases as he sees fit, but there are strict limits as to what portion of those increases can be passed through the government in the form of a price adjustment. My question is does this increase in health & welfare constitute an equitable adjustment? I would appreciate any recommendations you can provide.

Boof Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 FAR clause 52.222-41 should be in the contract if SCA work is being performed. It includes the adjustment of fringe benefits such as H&W. Read it thoughly from start to finish and its Part 22 prescription. It allows a company to request an adjustment, it does not constitute one.

Heretalearn Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 As should 52.222-43 or 44 (the Price Adjustment clauses) with their Part 22 prescriptions. Pay attention to the time frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
