Federal Janitorial RFPs — Dallas–Fort Worth (2026)

Federal cleaning demand in Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington, TX

DFW is a major federal hub: GSA Region 7 (Heartland) manages 30+ federally owned properties across the metroplex, the VA operates a large medical center in Dallas, and the FAA's Southwestern Region headquarters sits in Fort Worth. The area also has active DoD presence with Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base (NAS JRB Fort Worth), multiple federal courthouses, and Social Security/IRS field offices. NAS JRB Fort Worth at 1220 Michigan Ave is a joint-use reserve base supporting Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard units, generating significant custodial volume. Most janitorial solicitations in DFW flow through VA NCO 17 and GSA Region 7, with FAA as a notable additional buyer. Note: EO 14026 minimum wage enforcement for new federal contracts has been court-enjoined in Texas as of mid-2025 — the governing floor reverts to the SCA WD rate of $16.61/hr.

SCA wage determination — current WD

WD 2015-5227 Rev 26, effective Jul 08, 2025, covers Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Hunt, Kaufman, and Rockwall counties and sets Janitor (occupation code 11150) at $16.61/hr base + $5.36/hr H&W fringe = loaded floor ~$21.97/hr. Fort Worth/Tarrant County falls under WD 2015-5231. Note: EO 14026 court-enjoined for Texas contracts; WD rate governs. (SAM.gov WD 2015-5227 Rev 26)

AbilityOne / JWOD presence

AbilityOne has limited but present involvement in the DFW federal market; SSA field offices in Dallas and Fort Worth may have AbilityOne custodial entries. NAS JRB Fort Worth historically has had AbilityOne sub-tasks; verify current Procurement List status.

Set-asides and certifications

VA NCO 17 uses SDVOSB for Dallas VAMC janitorial. FAA Southwestern Region uses 8(a) for its DFW District IDIQ. GSA Region 7 uses full-and-open or small-business BPAs for DFW federal buildings. Texas: no state prevailing wage; EO 14026 enjoined; WD rate alone governs.

Bid preparation specifics

DFW is a price-competitive market at the Texas SCA floor of $16.61/hr; tight labor cost models are essential. FAA solicitations emphasize personnel background investigation requirements and continuity of operations; prior FAA or aviation facility experience is a differentiator. VA NCO 17 LPTA evaluations are standard; SDVOSB status is the gating requirement. DFW's large commercial janitorial market provides strong staffing pools but creates competition for workers; retention strategies matter in bid models.
