Civic AI Labor Pricing helps you research awarded GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) hourly labor ceiling rates — the same public CALC+ data behind buy.gsa.gov/pricing.

Open Labor Pricing

Search ceiling rates, view the distribution, and compare vendor LCATs.

​
What the data means

Rates in Labor Pricing are not-to-exceed (NTE) ceiling rates on MAS contracts:
  • Fully burdened (fringe, overhead, G&A, profit included)
  • Worldwide (no geographic adjustment)
  • Master-contract level (not task-order prices paid)
Task-order competition often drives actual prices below these ceilings. Use the tool for market research, proposal benchmarking, and IGCE support — not as a substitute for negotiation or legal review.
  1. Open Labor Pricing.
  2. Enter a keyword (labor category, vendor, or contract number).
  3. Narrow with education, experience, price range, business size, clearance, and SIN.
  4. Read the histogram — average, median, and 25–75th percentile for the filtered set.
  5. Scan the results table for comparable vendor rates.
Shareable URLs keep your filters in the query string so teammates can open the same view.

Reading the distribution

Common workflows

1

Add an LCAT to your Schedule

Search close title matches, filter to your education and experience floors, and bring median + IQR into negotiations.
2

Build or review an IGCE

Use MAS ceilings as a conservative benchmark. Document filters and sample size when you cite the data.
3

Check fair and reasonable pricing

Compare a proposed rate to the 25–75% band for similar categories. Investigate outliers before accepting or rejecting.

Data source

See Data sources for how this fits alongside SAM.gov and USAspending.
Always verify critical pricing decisions on the official GSA source. Ceiling rates are not legal advice and are not a guarantee of prices paid on task orders.
