Get a wage determination

Returns one wage determination. The path accepts either the internal wd_id (for example 43309) or the human-readable WD number (for example CA20260002), so a number you got from a contracting officer or a solicitation resolves without a search first.

This is a flat detail response: the record at the top level, no pagination envelope. On unknown ids it returns a 404 naming the value.

Quick start

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://govconapi.com/api/v1/wage-determinations/CA20260002"

For a CBA, the response carries the cba block:

{
  "wd_number": "CBA-2025-44",
  "wd_type": "CBA",
  "locations": [{ "state": "DC", "county": "Washington, D.C." }],
  "cba": {
    "contract_services": "PSO Services at 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington D.C. (DC0010)",
    "contractor_name": "Universal Protection Service LP d/b/a Allied Universal Security Services",
    "contractor_union": "Fraternity of American Protective Officers",
    "effective_start_date": "2023-12-12",
    "effective_end_date": "2026-11-30"
  },
  "_sources": ["sam_wage_determinations"]
}

The cba block is present on CBA records and absent on DBA and SCA. It is populated on roughly 87% of CBAs; the rest return empty enrichment from the source.

For DBA and SCA records the response carries a rates block: the classification-level rate lines for the determination, each with its hourly base wage and fringe. CBAs return an empty rates list (they reference a separate union schedule). The block sits alongside the record, so its presence or absence is explicit, and ?fields=...,rates selects it. For what each rate field means and how to query rates across determinations, see prevailing-wage rates.
