This is a Register of Wage Determinations under the Service Contract Act issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration for New Mexico counties (Chaves, Eddy, Lincoln, and Otero). The wage determination, numbered 2015-5455 (Revision 30, dated 5/13/2026), establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for service contract work performed in the specified geographic area.

The document provides comprehensive occupational classifications across multiple industry categories, including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, general services, health occupations, information technology, instructional occupations, materials handling, mechanics and maintenance, personal needs, plant operations, protective services, recreation, stevedoring, technical occupations, and transportation. Each occupation lists corresponding hourly wage rates ranging from approximately $10.97 to $48.83 per hour. All occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours per week, $222.00 per week, or $962.00 per month) or $5.09 per hour for certain classifications covered by Executive Order 13786. The determination specifies additional benefits including paid vacation (2-4 weeks depending on tenure), paid holidays (minimum 11 per year), and hazard pay differentials (4-8 percent) for certain positions. Special provisions apply to exempt computer professionals, air traffic controllers, weather observers, and positions requiring uniforms. The wage determination serves as the baseline for federal service contracts subject to the Service Contract Act in the designated New Mexico region.
