This document is a Service Contract Act Wage Determination (WD #2015-4281, Revision 38, effective July 30, 2026) that establishes prevailing wage requirements for service contracts in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

The wage determination covers Virginia counties (Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Falls Church, Fauquier, Loudoun, Manassas Park, Manassas, Prince William, and Stafford), the District of Columbia, and Maryland counties (Charles and Prince George's). The determination lists over 200 occupation codes and titles across multiple occupational categories including administrative support, automotive services, food preparation, health occupations, information technology, instructional occupations, maintenance and repair, materials handling, protective services, recreation, and technical occupations. All listed occupations receive a minimum health and welfare benefit of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours per week or $962.00 per month), with an alternative Executive Order 13706 rate of $5.09 per hour (up to 4 weeks per week or $882.27 per month). Additional compensation requirements include two weeks of paid vacation after one year of service, three weeks after five years, and four weeks after ten years; a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually; and hazardous pay differentials of 8 percent or 4 percent depending on work conditions. Special provisions address computer employee exemptions, air traffic controller and weather observer night shift premiums (10 percent additional pay), uniform allowances at $3.35 per week, and procedures for conformance requests using Form SF-1444 for unlisted occupations. The determination has been revised 38 times since its initial publication on November 25, 2015.
