The Standard Form 1444 (SF-1444) is administered by the U.S. General Services Administration under OMB Control Number 9000-0066. It ensures compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act and applies to both service contracts under the Service Contract Act and construction contracts under the Davis-Bacon Act.
Any prime contractor or subcontractor working on a federal contract must submit the SF-1444 when they need to use a labor classification not already listed in the prevailing wage determination attached to their contract. The form establishes the wage rate before work in that classification begins, protecting both the contractor and the workers involved.
The SF-1444 submission must include the project location, contract number and date, a list of proposed job classifications, proposed hourly wage rates, and any applicable fringe benefits. Contractors must submit the completed form in quadruplicate to the contracting officer. Supporting documentation, such as a prevailing wage notification or collective bargaining agreement, should be attached when relevant.
The contracting officer reviews the proposed classification and rate, consulting available wage surveys and any applicable agreements. Interested parties, including independent contractor representatives, participate in the negotiation. For construction projects, a construction proposal may also be reviewed alongside the SF-1444 submission. Once all parties agree, the approved classification and rate are incorporated into the contract, ensuring fair labor standards throughout the project.
