Federal cleaning demand in Baltimore–Columbia–Towson, MD
Baltimore hosts one of the most active federal janitorial markets on the East Coast, driven by VA VISN 5 (Capitol Health Care Network), which operates the Baltimore VAMC (10 N Greene St) and Perry Point VA Medical Center. GSA Region 3 (Mid-Atlantic) manages major federal buildings including the George H. Fallon Federal Building and Edward A. Garmatz US Courthouse in downtown Baltimore. The Social Security Administration's headquarters complex in Woodlawn (6401 Security Blvd) is among the largest single-agency federal office campuses in the country and generates substantial custodial procurement activity. VA NCO 5 (36C245, Loch Raven MD) handles VA janitorial solicitations under SDVOSB and small-business set-asides; a multiple-award BPA vehicle was pre-solicited in January 2026.

SCA wage floor (current WD)
WD 2015-4265 Rev 30, effective May 15, 2025, covers Baltimore City and Carroll County and sets Janitor (occupation code 11150) at $17.12/hr base + $4.93/hr H&W fringe = loaded floor ~$22.05/hr. Workers on contracts entered or extended after Jan 30, 2022 are covered by EO 14026 (currently ~$17.75/hr) — the EO rate exceeds the WD rate, so $17.75 effectively governs for covered contracts. (SAM.gov WD 2015-4265 Rev 30)
