`gsa_labor_rates`

Pack: gsa-calc · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/gsa-calc/mcp

GSA schedule hourly labor rates for a job title — the ceiling rate vendors may charge the government under a GSA MAS contract. Use this to benchmark what a labor category costs: “typical GSA hourly rate for a project manager”, “what do senior software engineers bill under MAS”, “GSA schedule rate for a data scientist with 10 years experience”. Returns individual rates with vendor name, contract number, SIN, education and experience requirements, plus a price summary (min, p25, median, p75, max) computed across EVERY matching rate, not just the ones returned. Filter by experience, education, worksite, business size, security clearance and price band. Example: gsa_labor_rates({ labor_category: “software engineer”, min_experience: 5 })

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`labor_category`	string	yes	Job title to benchmark, e.g. “software engineer”, “project manager”. Partial match against contract labor categories, which are free text — prefer a short phrase over a long one.
`limit`	number	no	How many individual rates to return, 1-${MAX_ROWS} (default ${DEFAULT_ROWS}). The summary always covers every matching rate regardless of this.
