This is a Register of Wage Determinations under the Service Contract Act issued by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment Standards Administration, Wage and Hour Division (Wage Determination No. 2015-4281, Revision 35, effective December 3, 2025).

The wage determination applies to the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia, covering specific counties and municipalities in those states. It establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for federal service contracts awarded in this geographic area. The determination lists over 200 occupational classifications across numerous categories including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, health occupations, information technology, instructional occupations, materials handling, mechanics and maintenance, protective services, recreation, stevedoring, technical occupations, and transportation. Hourly wage rates range from $15.11 (Nursing Assistant I) to $60.66 (multiple pilot positions), with most skilled trades and technical positions ranging from $24 to $50 per hour. All listed occupations receive mandatory fringe benefits: health and welfare at $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly or $222/week or $962/month), vacation accrual of two to four weeks depending on tenure, and a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually. Computer professionals, air traffic controllers, weather observers, and positions involving hazardous materials work have additional compensation provisions and special pay differentials (4-8% hazard differential). Uniform allowances and certain specialized occupational rates are addressed through specific conformance procedures requiring contractor submission on Standard Form 1444 for unlisted classifications.
