This is a federal wage determination document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division establishing prevailing wage rates for service contract work in Texas counties (Armstrong, Carson, Oldham, Potter, and Randall). The determination, numbered 2015-5213 (Revision 29, effective 12/03/2025), provides mandatory hourly wage rates and fringe benefits for contractors and subcontractors performing work on federal service contracts in the specified geographic area.

The document lists approximately 400 occupational classifications across multiple service categories including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, general services, health occupations, information technology, instructional services, machinery and maintenance, materials handling, mechanics and maintenance, personal needs, plant operations, protective services, recreation, stevedoring, technical occupations, and transportation. Each occupation code includes a base hourly rate, with rates ranging from $10.91 to $54.43 per hour. All occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly) or $222.00 weekly, plus vacation accrual (2-4 weeks based on tenure), eleven paid holidays annually, and health and welfare coverage. Special provisions apply to computer professionals, air traffic controllers, weather observers, and certain hazardous duty positions, which receive differential pay of 4-8 percent. Contractors must provide uniforms without cost to employees where required and comply with paid sick leave requirements under Executive Order 13706 ($5.09 per hour rate) for contracts awarded after January 1, 2017.
