The document lists over 400 occupation classifications across 29 major occupational categories, from administrative support positions (ranging from $17.77 to $37.15 per hour) through technical occupations, transportation roles, and skilled trades. Prevailing wage rates vary significantly by job classification, with rates ranging from $15.00 per hour for entry-level positions to $55.66 per hour for specialized roles such as cable splicers. All listed occupations require fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly, equaling $222.00 weekly or $962.00 monthly) for health and welfare, or $5.09 per hour under Executive Order 13706. Additional mandatory benefits include two weeks paid vacation after one year of service, holidays (minimum eleven paid holidays annually), and applicable hazard pay differentials (4 to 8 percent) for positions involving ordnance and explosives. The determination includes special provisions for computer professionals exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act, air traffic controllers and weather observers receiving night and Sunday pay differentials, and uniform allowances capped at $3.35 per week when applicable. Contractors must conform unlisted occupational classifications using Standard Form 1444, with the Department of Labor making final determinations on wage rates and fringe benefits.
