Wage determination.pdf

This is a wage determination document for federal contracting purposes. The wage determination establishes prevailing wage rates that apply to this specific solicitation and any resulting contract award. Wage determinations are mandatory under the Davis-Bacon Act and related federal wage and hour laws, requiring contractors to pay workers on federal projects no less than the specified prevailing wage rates for their respective job classifications and geographic location. These rates typically vary by trade, skill level, and work location, and must be incorporated into all bid proposals and labor cost estimates. Contractors are required to include applicable prevailing wage rates in their pricing and ensure all workers performing on the contract receive at least these minimum wages, plus applicable fringe benefits as detailed in the wage determination.

For this specific procurement—the replacement of an Electronic Modular Control Panel at USCG Communications Command in Chesapeake, Virginia—the wage determination provides the rates that must be applied to all labor costs. The document should detail the specific wage rates for electricians, mechanics, laborers, and other trades that will be performing work on this small business set-aside contract (NAICS 811310, $12.5 million size standard). All quoters submitting proposals by the May 12, 2026 deadline must base their labor pricing on these prevailing wage rates and acknowledge compliance with wage determination requirements as part of their Firm-Fixed Price quote submitted via SF-18 form.
