This is a Wage Determination document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment Standards Administration under the Service Contract Act. The determination, numbered 2015-4281 (Revision 35, effective December 3, 2025), applies to federal service contracts in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia, specifically covering the District of Columbia statewide and designated counties in Maryland and Virginia (Charles, Prince George's, Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Falls Church, Fauquier, Loudoun, Manassas, Manassas Park, Prince William, and Stafford).

The document establishes prevailing wage rates for 328 occupational classifications across 10 major occupational categories, ranging from administrative support positions (Accounting Clerk I at $21.83/hour) to specialized technical roles (Registered Nurse IV at $56.48/hour and Librarian at $43.76/hour). All listed occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly or $962.00 monthly), plus vacation (2-4 weeks based on tenure), eleven paid holidays annually, and health and welfare benefits. Certain positions, including Computer Programmers and Systems Analysts, include footnotes indicating they do not apply to employees in bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacities meeting specific compensation thresholds ($684+ per week). Hazardous pay differentials of 4-8 percent apply to designated positions involving explosives or ordnance. The determination also includes provisions for uniform allowances ($3.35 per week reimbursement) and establishes procedures for contractor conformance requests using Standard Form 1444 when unlisted occupations require classification.
