Welcome to Part 31: The Prevailing Wage Newsletter
Part 31 is a bi-weekly industry newsletter helping federal SCA contractors protect their margins and stay compliant on post-award operations.
P31 takes its name from FAR Part 31, the Cost Principles, the part of the FAR that governs every dollar on every federal contract.
This is not a legal publication. We translate compliance into operational action.
Topics we cover include:
Wage Determinations—regional WD updates, H&W rate changes, mid-contract revisions
DOL Enforcement & Audit Activity — back wage recoveries, debarments, WHD settlements
Contract & Procurement Intelligence — SCA-covered solicitations/awards from SAM.gov
Fringe & Benefits Compliance — H&W rates, ICHRA, ACA deadlines, fringe strategy
Regulatory & Policy Updates — FAR/DFARS changes, DOL guidance, state law shifts
Case Law & Protest Decisions — GAO/COFC rulings on SCA labor compliance
Industry Events & Conferences — SCA sessions, GovCon compliance events, DOL workshops
Join us in D.C. for the P31 SCA Convention
The first convention built exclusively for SCA contractors is coming next fall, 2027.
200 operators. One day. Zero filler. The waitlist is open; spots are limited.
