MEMORANDUM NO. 160
MEMORANDUM FOR ALL CONTRACTING AGENCIES OF THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMMENT AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
FROM: JOHN R. FRASER
Acting Administrator
SUBJECT: Publication of the Third Edition of the
Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations
A new, expanded and reorganized edition of the Service Contract
Act Directory of Occupations (the Directory) is being published
by the Wage and Hour Division. This third edition has been
expanded to cover close to 70 additional occupations, bringing
the total included to more than 300. In addition, major occupa-
tional categories for Forestry and Logging, Personal Needs, and
Health Occupations have been added.
Responding to agency suggestions, this Directory is being printed
in loose-leaf form to facilitate the use of annual Directory
supplements, as needed. To maintain an up-to-date version of the
Directory, be sure to order the annual supplement from the Super-
intendent of Documents each October. Future new purchasers of
the Directory will be provided with all supplements produced to
date.
In April 1985, the first edition of the Directory was issued; the
second edition was issued in July 1986. The Directory can be
used by procurement staff as an important resource and time-
saver in requesting Service Contract Act (SCA) wage determina-
tions, providing a common vocabulary for the wage determination
process.
The third edition of the Directory will be available for sale
from the Superintendent of Documents and may be ordered by
calling (202) 783-3238 or writing to Superintendent of Documents,
U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
Inquiries regarding the third edition may be made by telephone to
Alan Moss at FTS 523-7531 (or 202-523-7531). Also, we welcome
your comments and suggestions concerning any Directory problems,
additions, or suggested changes. Send such information to: U.S.
Department of Labor, Employment Standards Administration, Wage
and Hour Division, Division of Wage Determinations, 200 Consti-
tution Avenue, N.W., Room S-3014, Washington, D.C. 20210.
