SUBJECT: Report on Preventing "Wage Busting" for Professionals Under Service
Contracts -- OFPP Policy Letter 78-2
Office of Federal Procurement Policy Letter 78-2 dated March 29, 1978
expressed the policy of the Federal Government that all service employees,
including professional employees, be fairly and properly compensated. This
policy was promulgated in the Defense Acquisition Regulation and the Federal
Procurement Regulations in June 1978.
The policy letter called on each agency to submit a report within six months of
actions taken to implement the policy. Because of the delay in promulgating
implementing regulations, agencies were notified informally that the reporting
requirement would be deferred. Sufficient time has now transpired for agencies
to evaluate how effective the regulatory coverage has been in preventing wage
busting of professionals under service contracts.
Please furnish this Office by April 30, 1979 a report of the actions taken, the
effectiveness of the regulations implemented, and suggestions, if any, on
proposed revisions to the regulations. Your response will be useful in our
continuing attempts to ensure the integrity of our policy and regulatory
A copy of Policy Letter 78-2 is attached.
