The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for all occupations required under service contracts awarded in this geographic area.

The wage determination (No. 2015-5623, Revision 31, effective 8/20/2026) specifies hourly rates for over 300 occupational classifications across multiple occupational groups including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, general services, health occupations, information and arts occupations, information technology, instructional occupations, laundry and dry-cleaning, machine tool operation, materials handling, mechanics and maintenance, personal needs, plant and system operations, protective services, recreation, stevedoring, technical occupations, and transportation/mobile equipment operations. Rates range from approximately $17.28 to $90.40 per hour depending on classification and skill level. All listed occupations receive health and welfare benefits of $5.92 per hour (up to 40 hours per week, or $236.80 per week) or $5.42 per hour under Executive Order 13786, plus paid vacation (2-5 weeks depending on tenure), 11 paid holidays annually, and other fringe benefits. The determination includes special provisions for computer programmers, air traffic controllers, weather observers, and hazardous duty differentials (4-8 percent premiums for hazardous ordnance work). Contractors must comply with uniform allowance standards and Service Contract Act conformance procedures using SF-1444 forms when unlisted occupations require wage rate determinations.
