Attachment 2 - SCA Wage Determination 2015-5005 Rev 29 - 17 August 2026.pdf

This is a Register of Wage Determinations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration for federal service contracts in Iowa and Nebraska. The wage determination (No. 2015-5005, Revision 29, effective August 12, 2026) covers Iowa counties of Harrison, Mills, and Pottawattamie, and Nebraska counties of Cass, Douglas, Sarpy, Saunders, and Washington.

The document establishes prevailing wage rates for over 200 occupational classifications ranging from administrative support and clerical positions (such as accounting clerks at $18.48–$20.74 per hour) to specialized technical and skilled trades positions (such as aircraft mechanics at $31.21–$32.58 per hour). All listed occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.92 per hour (up to 40 hours per week, or $236.80 per week or $1,026.13 per month), with certain positions marked with footnotes indicating computer professional exemptions or special pay differentials for hazardous work (4–8 percent differentials for ordnance and explosives handling). The determination mandates a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually and vacation accrual of two to five weeks based on years of service. All occupations listed receive health and welfare benefits. The wage rates apply to all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act awarded on or after the effective date, and contractors must conform newly proposed classifications to this determination through a formal conformance process requiring Department of Labor review and approval.
