The changes are two primary SIN’s schedule 736-1 for Wage Grade Occupations, and 736-5 for Professional Labor Categories.Ā GSA goes on to say, “The changes reflect Human CapitalĀ Management Category goals by reducing contract redundancy, enabling Customer Agencies to better identify part time temporary hiring categories, while affording Best Value exceptional past performance.
