Sec. 4.3  Wage determinations.

    (a) The minimum monetary wages and fringe benefits for service 
employees which the Act requires to be specified in contracts and bid 
solicitations subject to section 2(a) thereof will be set forth in wage 
determinations issued by the Administrator. Wage determinations shall be 
issued as soon as administratively feasible for all contracts subject to 
section 2(a) of the Act, and will be issued for all contracts entered 
into under which more than 5 service employees are to be employed.
    (b) Such wage determinations will set forth for the various classes 
of service employees to be employed in furnishing services under such 
contracts in the appropriate localities, minimum monetary wage rates to 
be paid and minimum fringe benefits to be furnished them during the 
periods when they are engaged in the performance of such contracts, 
including, where appropriate under the Act, provisions for adjustments 
in such minimum rates and benefits to be placed in effect under such 
contracts at specified future times. The wage rates and fringe benefits 
set forth in such wage determinations shall be determined in accordance 
with the provisions of sections 2(a)(1), (2), and (5), 4(c) and 4(d) of 
the Act from those prevailing in the locality for such employees, with 
due consideration of the rates that would be paid for direct Federal 
employment of any classes of such employees whose wages, if federally 
employed, would be determined as provided in 5 U.S.C. 5341 or 5 U.S.C. 
5332, or from pertinent collective bargaining agreements with respect to 
the implementation of section 4(c). The wage rates and fringe benefits 
so determined for any class of service employees to be engaged in 
furnishing covered contract services in a locality shall be made 
applicable by contract to all service employees of such class employed 
to perform such services in the locality under any contract subject to 
section 2(a) of the Act which is entered into thereafter and before such 
determination has been rendered obsolete by a withdrawal, modification, 
or supersedure.
    (c) Generally, wage determinations issued for solicitations or 
negotiations

for any contract where the place of performance is unknown will contain 
minimum monetary wages and fringe benefits for the various geographic 
localities where the work may be performed which were identified in the 
initial solicitation (see Sec. 4.4(a)(2)(i)).
    (d) Wage determinations will be available for public inspection 
during business hours at the Wage and Hour Division, Employment 
Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC, and 
copies will be made available on request at Regional Offices of the Wage 
and Hour Division.
