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 federal service contracts in Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Maryland. The wage determination (No. 2015-4281, Revision 39, dated August 22, 2026) applies to the Virginia counties of Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Falls Church, Fauquier, Loudoun, Manassas Park, Prince William and Stafford; all counties within the District of Columbia; and the Maryland counties of Charles and Prince George's.

The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits required for service contract employees across 101 occupational categories ranging from administrative and clerical positions (e.g., Accounting Clerk I at $22.71/hour) to technical and skilled trades (e.g., Aircraft Mechanic III at $49.88/hour). All occupations listed receive a minimum health and welfare benefit of $5.92 per hour (up to 40 hours per week or $236.80 per week), plus vacation accrual beginning at two weeks after one year of service, and a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually. Computer professionals, air traffic controllers and weather observers, and hazardous materials workers receive specified differential pay rates. Employees must be furnished adequate uniforms without cost, or employers must reimburse uniform costs at $1.35 per week. Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 impose additional paid sick leave and wage floor requirements on applicable contracts. The wage determination references the Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations (Fifth Edition, September 2015) for job duty descriptions and establishes procedures for conformance requests for unlisted classifications through SF-1444 forms.
