What are the ‘not-to-exceed’ GSA rates for labor categories available under SIN 132-51?
Not-to-exceed rates are rates that were negotiated and awarded. The rates can be lowered, but not raised. It is a proven best practice that ordering activities should seek additional price reductions/increased discounts and/or concessions when placing an order under a GSA Schedule contract. Contractors will often “sharpen their pencils” to obtain a large Schedule contract order. GSA Schedule contractors are not required to pass on to all Schedule users a price reduction extended only to an individual customer for a specific order.
