Get Wage Rate Summary
get_wage_rate_summaryFind the regulatory labor-cost floor for any SCA occupation, aggregating base hourly percentiles and Health & Welfare fringe across wage determinations to price loaded labor for federal services bids.
Instructions
Get the labor-cost FLOOR for one occupation, aggregated across wage determinations: base hourly percentiles + Health & Welfare fringe + how many WDs set it, what a services bidder needs to price loaded labor, which on an SCA contract drives the bid far more than the award value.
Bid & Proposal / Negotiate tool, the DISTRIBUTION view, distinct from get_wage_rates
(individual county rate lines). Pair with get_labor_rate_benchmark for the awarded
(as-bid) rate comparison, this tool gives the regulatory floor instead.
- occupation_code: SCA 5-digit code, e.g. "11150" (Janitor), "27101" (Guard), the
precise key, prefer this when known
- classification: name substring, e.g. "Guard", used when no occupation_code is given
- type: SCA (default) | DBA (CBAs have no rate table)
- state: 2-letter, scope to WDs covering that state
Response includes `distinct_classifications` (COUNT DISTINCT of matched titles), a broad `classification` substring can blend several distinct, differently-paid
titles into one distribution (e.g. "Computer" spans 10 titles from $10-$53/hr);
this discloses whether the returned label is one occupation or a blend. Prefer
`occupation_code` over `classification` whenever the pay spread matters.
