Common use of Ancillary Service Clause in Contracts

Ancillary Service. LCATs – This labor category type includes ancillary labor support, and does not include any of the defined Standard IT Service LCATs or Non-Standard IT Service LCATs. Ancillary Service LCATs may be used only when the principal purpose of the Task Order is to furnish IT services-based solutions. The OCO will ensure that additional labor categories are in compliance with Service Contract Labor Standards and Wage Rate Requirements (Construction), and, where applicable, include appropriate clauses and wage determinations consistent with B.7 and/or B.8. 1.1 Standard IT Service Labor Categories Standard IT Service LCATs are the labor categories referenced in Attachment J-3. They are presented as historically-based relevant positions that support Information Technology (IT) procurement requirements. IT is a dynamic discipline that will likely require additional uniquely defined IT Service labor categories that emerge at some point through the term of this Master Contract. Additional Standard IT Service labor categories may be added by the government via contract modification. The process to recommend the addition of new IT LCATs to the Master Contract is discussed in detail under section B.6.3, Process to add Standard IT Service LCATs to the Master Contract. (a) The primary source of the Standard IT Service LCATs is the Department of Labor (DoL) Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Service Occupational System. The Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system is used by Federal statistical agencies to classify workers into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, or disseminating data. (b) The Standard IT Service LCATs (see Attachment J-3) contains the comprehensive IT Service LCATs required to meet all information technology service based requirements. Therefore, every effort shall be made by the OCOs and Contractors to use the Standard IT Service LCATs. (See Attachment J-3).
