Federal cleaning demand in Detroit–Warren–Dearborn, MI

Detroit's federal janitorial market centers on the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center and the GSA-managed federal building complex in downtown Detroit. VISN 10 (Healthcare System) serves a large veteran population in Southeast Michigan and consistently awards janitorial IDIQs through NCO 10 (Ann Arbor) under SDVOSB or small-business set-asides. GSA Region 5 (Great Lakes) manages the Patrick V. McNamara Federal Building (a 27-story skyscraper at 477 Michigan Ave) and the Theodore Levin US Courthouse — both generate substantial ongoing custodial requirements. The McNamara Federal Building experienced water contamination in 2023 (GSA OIG Memorandum A240049, July 2024), resulting in enhanced remedial cleaning requirements and heightened scrutiny of the custodial contract program. Oakland and Macomb counties are served by WD 2015-4867 (Rev 23+); Wayne County by WD 2015-4839 Rev 27.

SCA wage floor (current WD)

WD 2015-4839 Rev 27, effective May 08, 2025, covers Wayne County (Detroit, Dearborn, Warren area) and sets Janitor (occupation code 11150) at $17.09/hr base + $4.93/hr H&W fringe = loaded floor ~$22.02/hr. Workers on contracts entered or extended after Jan 30, 2022 are covered by EO 14026 (currently ~$17.75/hr) — the EO rate modestly exceeds the WD rate, so $17.75 effectively governs for those covered contracts. (SAM.gov WD 2015-4839 Rev 27)
