About this file

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. The document establishes prevailing wage rates for federal contracts covering specific geographic areas across 21 states, with a focus on Department of the Army contracts for Career Counseling, Financial Counseling, and Liaison Installation Officer services. The wage determination (No. 2021-0142, Revision 19) is effective as of December 3, 2025, and applies to designated Alaska boroughs, Alabama counties, Arizona counties, California counties, Colorado counties, Georgia counties, Hawaii counties, Kansas counties, Kentucky counties, Louisiana parishes, Maryland counties, Missouri counties, North Carolina counties, New Jersey counties, New York counties, Oklahoma counties, Pennsylvania counties, South Carolina counties, Texas counties, Virginia counties, and Washington counties.

The document specifies minimum hourly wage rates for three occupational categories that vary by geographic location. Career Counselors' wages range from $29.28 to $36.61 per hour depending on location; Financial Counselors have identical wage structures; and Liaison Installation Officers follow the same geographic wage scale. All occupations receive mandatory fringe benefits including Health & Welfare at $5.55 per hour (or $4.98 for contracts starting between February 19, 2024, and July 21, 2024), paid vacation accruing from two to four weeks based on tenure, and a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually. The wage determination also includes detailed job descriptions for each occupation, noting that these positions support the Servicemembers' Family and Transition Assistance Program (SFL-TAP). The document references Executive Order 13706 (Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors) and Executive Order 13658, establishing that covered workers must receive at least $13.30 per hour in 2025 or the applicable wage rate listed, whichever is higher.
