Wisconsin Davis-Bacon wage determination changes, 2026
The U.S. Department of Labor published 38 modifications to 38 of Wisconsin's Davis-Bacon wage determinations between May 18, 2026 and May 18, 2026 that changed, added or removed a rate. Across them, 0 rates went up, 0 went down, 1,213 rows were added and 0 removed.
From every revision of each WD on SAM.gov, compared row by row (rate identifier and classification) and read twice. 38 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. Wisconsin Davis-Bacon rates by county

Questions about Wisconsin's Davis-Bacon changes
How often do Davis-Bacon wage rates change in Wisconsin?
Whenever DOL modifies a wage determination. So far in 2026, DOL has published 38 modifications to Wisconsin wage determinations that changed, added or removed a rate, all dated May 18, 2026, when DOL reissued most WDs.
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 Wisconsin wage determinations?
On SAM.gov. Each row on this page links the new revision there and the one it replaced, and every Wisconsin rate page names its WD and modification.
