The wage determination (No. 2015-5017, Revision 32, effective 5/13/2026) establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for federal service contractors operating in the specified geographic area.

The determination covers over 200 occupation classifications across multiple industry categories including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, general services, health occupations, information technology, instructional occupations, laundry and dry cleaning, machine tool operation, materials handling, mechanics and maintenance, personal needs, plant and system operations, protective services, recreation, stevedoring, technical occupations, and transportation. Hourly wage rates range from approximately $14.00 (Waiter/Waitress) to $53.96 (Boiler Tender and Stationary Engineer). All listed occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly) or $222.00 per week, with an enhanced rate of $5.89 per hour under Executive Order 13786. Additional benefits mandated include two weeks paid vacation after one year of service (increasing to three weeks after five years and four weeks after fifteen years), minimum twelve paid holidays annually, and health and welfare coverage. Special pay provisions apply for night differential (10% for 6pm-6am hours), hazardous duty differential (8% for high-hazard positions, 4% for low-hazard positions), and Sunday/holiday premium pay. Computer professionals are exempt from wage determination requirements if meeting specific criteria.
