FAR subpart 22.10 mandates the contracting officer to provide on contracts for services, the minimum wages that have to be paid to the persons executing the contract. These minimum wages are called Wage Determinations (WD), that are maintained by the Department of Labor (DoL).
Wages determined by Wage Determinations may vary based on the nature of the work and the place where the service is performed.
The Department of Labor(DOL) maintains an official website www.wdol.gov that is used by contracting officers to obtain Wage Determination statements.
