Standard Form 1444 (SF 1444): Request for Additional Classification and Rate

Standard Form 1444 (SF 1444), Request for Authorization of Additional Classification and Rate, is a two-sided form for a service contract or a construction contract. It proposes rates for classifications not included in the Department of Labor wage determination for the contract, and it is addressed to the Administrator, Wage And Hour Division, U.S. Department Of Labor. The footer says it is prescribed by GSA under FAR (48 CFR) 53.222(f), and GSA hosts it in its forms library. The edition is STANDARD FORM 1444 (REV. 10/2023), OMB Control Number 9000-0066.

The form says the contractor completes items 3 through 16, keeps a pending copy and submits the request, in quadruplicate, to the Contracting Officer. The contracting officer then checks whether the interested parties agree or cannot agree, and the form says to send 3 copies to the Department of Labor.

The Paperwork Reduction Act statement estimates .5 hours to read the instructions, gather the facts and answer the questions. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
