Attachment 3 - Wage Determination.pdf

This is a Register of Wage Determinations under the Service Contract Act issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration Wage and Hour Division for New Mexico counties (Bernalillo, Sandoval, Torrance, and Valencia). The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for federal service contracts performed in this geographic area.

The wage determination (No. 2015-5443, Revision 30, dated August 27, 2026) provides hourly rates across 13 occupational categories encompassing over 200 specific job classifications, ranging from administrative and clerical positions ($14.92–$35.17/hour) to technical occupations ($20.28–$48.05/hour), health occupations ($15.69–$48.05/hour), mechanics and maintenance roles ($21.09–$36.95/hour), and transportation positions ($12.92–$36.17/hour). All listed occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.92 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly, or $236.80 per week) for health and welfare, plus an additional $5.42 per hour under Executive Order 13786 for SCA-covered contracts. The determination includes special provisions for computer employees (footnote 1), air traffic controllers and weather observers with night pay and Sunday premiums (footnote 2), hazardous pay differentials of 4–8 percent for ordnance and explosive work, and uniform allowance provisions of $1.35 per week for maintenance. Paid sick leave requirements per Executive Order 13706 and standard federal holidays apply to all covered workers. Contractors must comply with conformance processes requiring written reports and Department of Labor approval for any unlisted occupational classifications.
