Purpose.

This pamphlet is designed to provide basic guidelines for all "Corps," or USACE employees tasked with the administration of SCA responsibilities. Its primary aim is to effect a uniform and consistent program of administration of labor standards responsibilities throughout the Corps. With the exception of very complex and unusual problems, this pamphlet attempts to provide answers to questions that most generally arise in connection with service contract labor standards on USACE acquisitions. Official acquisition policy is found in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and its supplements. If there is any conflict between the FAR and its supplements, and this pamphlet, the current FAR and its supplements apply.
