L. 111-350) sets out the wage determination and successor contract protection framework for federal service contracts exceeding $2,500: subsection (a) gives the Secretary of Labor enforcement authority including regulations, orders, hearings, decisions, and other actions to enforce the Service Contract Act; subsection (b) authorizes the Secretary to provide reasonable limitations, variations, tolerances, and exemptions but only where necessary and proper in the public interest or to prevent serious impairment of Federal Government business while protecting prevailing labor standards; subsection (c) - the successor contract provision - requires successor contractors providing substantially identical services to compensate service employees at no less than the wages and fringe benefits (including accrued and prospective increases) earned under the predecessor contract pursuant to collective bargaining agreement, unless the Secretary determines after hearing that the predecessor wages are substantially at variance with prevailing wages for similar services in the same locality; the SCA is enforced by the Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division; Standard Form SF-98 wage determinations are incorporated into solicitations and contracts; successor contract violations expose contractors to debarment under 41 USC § 6706.",
