Contracting officers may elect to use the e98 request form for any SCA-covered contract action. Also, if a contracting officer cannot obtain an appropriate SCA WD within the WDOL.GOV database for use in an official contract action, the contracting officer must request an official SCA WD from DOL by completing the e98. Most requests are processed immediately. Some requests will require research, and DOL may need additional time to respond.
