The wage determination (No. 2015-4871, Revision 31, dated 12/03/2025) establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for numerous occupational classifications across multiple service categories including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, general services, health occupations, information and arts, information technology, instructional, laundry and dry-cleaning, machine tool operation, materials handling, mechanics and maintenance, personal needs, plant and system operations, protective services, recreation, stevedoring, technical, and transportation/mobile equipment operations.

All listed occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly, $222.00 per week, or $962.00 per month) for health and welfare, with an alternative rate of $5.09 per hour for Health & Welfare EO 13706 coverage ($203.60 weekly or $882.27 monthly). Additional benefits include two weeks paid vacation after one year of service with three weeks after five years and four weeks after fifteen years; a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually; and paid sick leave per Executive Order 13706. Special provisions apply to computer employees (footnote 1), air traffic controllers and weather observers with night and Sunday pay differentials (footnote 2), and hazardous pay differentials of 4 to 8 percent for ordnance and explosives work. Uniform allowances of $3.35 per week ($0.67 daily) apply where uniforms are required unless they are "wash and wear" materials requiring no special maintenance. The wage determination includes a conformance process requiring contractors to request authorization for unlisted occupations via Standard Form 1444 (SF-1444) prior to performing work in such classifications.
