The Integrated Award Environment has received approval from The Award Committee for E-Government and the Procurement Committee for E-Government to proceed with the plan to decommission Wage Determinations OnLine (WDOL.gov) on June 14, 2019. This will be the third legacy system IAE has decommissioned recently as GSA migrates its functionality and data into the new beta.SAM.gov. After June 14th, beta.SAM.gov will become the official source for wage determinations. To prepare for this decommission, please make a note of your current WDOL.gov saved wage determination numbers so that you can re-subscribe in beta.SAM.gov. The current wage determination numbers will not migrate automatically to beta.SAM.gov. Watch this video for the steps.
