This is a Register of Wage Determinations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration for service contracts under the Service Contract Act (SCA). The wage determination applies to California County of San Diego (Wage Determination No. 2015-5635, Revision 29, effective December 3, 2025).

The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for service employees performing work on federal contracts in the specified geographic area. It lists over 300 occupation codes and titles across multiple service categories including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, general services, health occupations, information technology, instructional operations, laundry and dry-cleaning, machine tool operations, materials handling, mechanics and maintenance, personal needs, plant and system operations, protective services, recreation, stevedoring, technical occupations, and transportation/mobile equipment operations. Wage rates range from $15.95 per hour (Taxi Driver) to $75.09 per hour (Nuclear Medicine Technologist). All listed occupations receive fringe benefits including health and welfare compensation at $5.55 per hour (or $5.09 per hour under Executive Order 13706 for SCA-covered contracts), vacation accrual of two to four weeks based on tenure, and a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually. Computer-related positions and air traffic controllers/weather observers have special compensation footnotes. The wage determination requires uniform allowances to be provided at no cost to employees, with maintenance reimbursement at $3.35 per week where applicable. Hazardous pay differentials of 4 percent or 8 percent apply to certain ordnance and explosives-related positions. Employees must also receive paid sick leave under Executive Order 13706 if contract awards occurred on or after January 1, 2017.
