Can employers use their own wage surveys?

Yes, the employers can get SWAs to accept alternative wage surveys. As long as an employer-provided survey meets DOL criteria, the survey should be accepted by the SWA. Davis-Bacon Act and Service Contract Act wage data no longer need be used to determine the prevailing wage rate. However, a DBA or SCA wage rate may be considered prima facie evidence of the prevailing wage.
