Federal cleaning demand in Columbus, OH
Columbus is Ohio's capital and hosts a diverse federal janitorial market with two distinct anchor buyers: the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The Chalmers P. Wylie VA Ambulatory Care Center at 420 N James Rd is the primary Columbus VA facility (a major outpatient and ambulatory care campus), with VISN 10 / NCO 10 issuing SDVOSB-set-aside janitorial IDIQs on recurring 5-year cycles. Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC), operated by DLA Land and Maritime at 3990 E Broad St, is one of the largest defense logistics installations in the country and generates substantial ongoing custodial and facility support contracts. DFAS Columbus is co-located at the DSCC complex. GSA Region 5 (Great Lakes) manages the Joseph P. Kinneary US Courthouse (85 Marconi Blvd) and the Ohio State Federal Building (200 N High St) in downtown Columbus. The SCA Janitor floor for Franklin, Delaware, Fairfield, Licking, and Madison counties is $15.87/hr under WD 2015-4729 Rev 28 (effective Dec 23, 2024).

SCA wage floor (current WD)
WD 2015-4729 Rev 28, effective Dec 23, 2024, covers Franklin, Delaware, Fairfield, Licking, Madison, Morrow, Pickaway, and Union counties and sets Janitor (occupation code 11150) at $15.87/hr base + $5.36/hr H&W fringe = loaded floor ~$21.23/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.
