This is a Service Contract Act Wage Determination for federal service contracts in eight Texas counties (Atascosa, Bandera, Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Kendall, Medina, and Wilson). The determination, effective May 13, 2026 (Revision 29, Wage Determination No. 2015-5253), establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for over 200 occupation classifications across multiple job categories including administrative, automotive, food preparation, health, information technology, instructional, protective services, and technical occupations.

The wage determination specifies hourly rates for each occupation, ranging from $11.49 for laundry and dry-cleaning positions to $50.21 for Registered Nurse IV positions. All occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly, equaling $222.00 weekly or $962.00 monthly), with an alternative health and welfare rate of $5.09 per hour under Executive Order 13706. Employees receive two weeks of paid vacation after one year, three weeks after five years, and four weeks after fifteen years, plus a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually. The determination notes that computer professionals earning at least $684 per week may be exempt from wage requirements under specific conditions, and air traffic controllers and weather observers receive night pay and Sunday pay differentials. An eight percent hazardous pay differential applies to positions involving ordnance and explosives, with a four percent differential for lower-hazard work. Contractors must furnish uniforms without cost to employees or reimburse uniform maintenance at $3.35 weekly, except for wash-and-wear materials requiring no special treatment. The conformance process for unlisted occupations requires contractors to submit proposed classifications to the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division within thirty days of employing workers in new classifications.
