The Department of Labor modifies these determinations on SAM.gov in weekly batches through the year; the latest Puerto Rico modification we hold is dated May 18, 2026. 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)). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.
These are the federal Davis-Bacon rates for Puerto Rico, for federally funded or assisted construction. We haven't checked whether Puerto Rico also sets its own.
