Compliance with Service Contract Act wage determinations for Coconino, Arizona, and Juab, Utah, is required. Final acceptance is managed by the Contracting Officer following periodic inspections by the Contracting Officer's Representative, and all payments must be processed electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform System.
