It specifies that Offerors must provide detailed information about their previous contracts, including the legal name of the contracting entity, contract number, services performed, geographical location, and contract dates. Additionally, Offerors must state the number of chillers serviced and supply contact information for a verifying individual at the entity.

    D.2 ATTACHMENT 2 - IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT OF 1952 - AS AMENDED.pdf

This includes ensuring that they do not knowingly employ illegal aliens or foreign nationals violating their immigration status while performing services related to veteran patient referrals. The Contractor must adhere to "E-Verify" requirements as stipulated by Executive Order 12989 and related regulations. Non-compliance could lead to the prohibition of such foreign nationals from working for the Contractor and could constitute grounds for contract termination. Moreover, contractors are responsible for obtaining a similar certification from their subcontractors, emphasizing widespread accountability in maintaining legal employment standards. The document emphasizes the seriousness of truthful certification, warning that false claims could result in prosecution under U.S. law. This certification process is a critical component of government contracting, particularly in the context of ensuring that federal obligations regarding immigration and labor are upheld in public service contracts.

It includes detailed information on fringe benefits such as health and welfare compensation, vacation entitlement, and paid holidays for covered positions. Furthermore, it notes differential pay for hazardous jobs and requirements for uniform provision. This wage determination serves as a compliance guideline for federal and local contractors to ensure fair labor compensation and worker protection in governmental contracts, reflecting the government's commitment to uphold labor standards in federal procurements and grant programs.
