Federal cleaning demand in Cincinnati, OH–KY–IN

The Cincinnati tri-state metro (Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana) hosts a diverse federal janitorial market led by VA VISN 10 (Healthcare System), which operates the Cincinnati VA Medical Center at 3200 Vine St and a network of community-based outpatient clinics in greater Cincinnati, northern Kentucky, and southeastern Indiana. NCO 10 (Network Contracting Office 10, formerly NCO 10 Ann Arbor) handles all VA janitorial solicitations for the region under SDVOSB set-asides with 5-year ordering periods. GSA Region 5 (Great Lakes) manages the Potter Stewart US Courthouse and the John Weld Peck Federal Building in downtown Cincinnati, both generating recurring custodial awards. DFAS Cincinnati is a major Defense Finance and Accounting Service complex and significant non-VA federal custodial buyer. The SCA Janitor floor for Hamilton, Butler, Clermont, and Warren counties OH plus Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties KY plus Dearborn County IN is $16.24/hr under WD 2015-4719 Rev 27.

WD 2015-4719 Rev 27, effective Jul 22, 2024, covers Hamilton, Butler, Clermont, and Warren counties OH, Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties KY, and Dearborn County IN, and sets Janitor (occupation code 11150) at $16.24/hr base + $5.36/hr H&W fringe = loaded floor ~$21.60/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 governs for covered contracts.
