Pennsylvania Davis-Bacon wage determination changes, 2026
The U.S. Department of Labor published 200 modifications to 110 of Pennsylvania's Davis-Bacon wage determinations between May 18, 2026 and October 15, 2026 that changed, added or removed a rate. Across them, 131 rates went up, 1 went down, 3,815 rows were added and 307 removed.
From every revision of each WD on SAM.gov, compared row by row (rate identifier and classification) and read twice. 110 of these modifications are dated May 18, 2026, when DOL reissued most WDs. Totals are base plus fringe. A contract keeps the modification in its bid documents, so a later one only reaches new bids. Pennsylvania prevailing wage rates by county
Largest rate changes
The 20 biggest moves in the hourly total (base where the fringe isn't a dollar figure), one row per WD classification.

Questions about Pennsylvania's Davis-Bacon changes
How often do Davis-Bacon wage rates change in Pennsylvania?
Whenever DOL modifies a wage determination. Between May 18, 2026 and October 15, 2026, DOL published 200 modifications to 110 Pennsylvania wage determinations that changed, added or removed a rate; 110 of them are dated May 18, 2026, when DOL reissued most WDs.
Which Pennsylvania Davis-Bacon rate changed the most in 2026?
ELECTRICIAN (INSTALLATION OF SOUND AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS ONLY) (telecommunications technician) on PA20260083: $82.74 to $108.01 an hour in modification 3, published October 1, 2026, for building construction.
Does a new modification change the rates on my contract?
A contract keeps the wage determination in its bid documents. Modifications published before bid opening apply to it, though one published less than 10 days before can be left out if the agency finds there isn't time to tell bidders (29 CFR 1.6(c)).
Where are the official Pennsylvania wage determinations?
On SAM.gov. Each row on this page links the new revision there and the one it replaced, and every Pennsylvania rate page names its WD and modification.
