The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for administrative support services at the John C. Kluczynski Federal Building in Chicago. Solicitation number 47PF0024R0071 was issued on July 2, 2024, with offers due by July 31, 2024. The contract is a 100% HUBZone small business set-aside, emphasizing the importance of integration from small business subcontractors.

The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division has announced an increase in the health and welfare fringe benefits under the Service Contract Act (SCA) to $5.36 per hour, effective July 2, 2024. Contracting agencies must update wage determinations to reflect this change in all new bids and contracts awarded after this date. This adjustment is based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Employment Cost Index. The memorandum emphasizes the distinction between "low-level" and "high-level" benefits and states that the practice of providing average cost fringe benefit wage determinations for new contracts is being discontinued. Additionally, Executive Order 13706 mandates that federal contractors provide up to 56 hours of paid sick leave annually and specifies a lower health and welfare rate of $4.93 per hour when this requirement applies. For Hawaii, the fringe benefits level will be $2.36 per hour for employees covered by the state's health care laws, while those not covered will follow the standard rate. The memorandum underscores compliance requirements and the necessity for accurate implementation of these regulations in government contracting.
