Standard Labor Categories for Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Atlantic (SSC LANT)

Standard Labor Categories for Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Atlantic (SSC LANT) Contracts

A list of Standard Labor Categories to be used on all SSC LANT contracts has been developed, coordinated with Industry, tested in contracts awarded and is mandatory for use on all SSC LANT Contracts issued after 20 February 2007.

This action will standardize Labor Categories, rates for set categories and greatly reduce the time and manpower used to develop both the Labor Category Document and the Independent Government Estimate (IGE) documents currently required in all contracts.

Policy Implementation Requirements

1. Contracts initiated by SSC LANT must use the Labor Categories (LC) identified in this document. LCs selected must be those which most closely describe contracted efforts. The requirements identified are “minimum requirements” for both education and experience, and should be augmented with “specific requirements” (refer to paragraph 4 below) in accordance with requirements identified in Statements of Work (SOW), Performance Work Schedules (PWS), or Delivery/Task Orders (DO/TO).

2. All “Important Notes” identified in enclosure (1), of this document, must be included in the solicitation.

3. In the event that no LC included in enclosure (2) of this document describes a necessary effort, enclosure (3) identifying the new LC, Education, and Experience requirements shall be submitted to SSC LANT Contracts Requirements Team IPT (CRT IPT) for approval (). The new LC will then be added to the Standard LC List prior to such LC being required in contract language. NOTE: Every effort must be made to utilize the Standard LCs already identified in this document.

4. Examples of how the Personnel Qualifications Document should be organized are included in enclosure (4) (Table of Content), and (5) (Body), of the document. Enclosure (4) illustrates how different tasks/positions should be listed when more than one task/position is included as part of a single Labor Category. Enclosure (5) illustrates: how more than one task/position included as part of a single Labor Category should be identified, and how each section (i.e., education and experience) is composed of the minimum requirements identified in this document and the augmentation of requirements listed after “Specific Experience in” in the experience section. NOTE: Enclosures (4) and (5) are examples only, copied from a current SSC LANT contract.

5. For answers to any question regarding Labor Categories please call 843-218-5713.
