Federal cleaning demand in Pittsburgh, PA
Pittsburgh's federal janitorial market is led by VA VISN 4 (VA Healthcare System of the Alleghenies), which operates the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS) across two major campuses: the University Drive C campus (the main inpatient and acute care facility) and the H.J. Heinz Campus at 1010 Delafield Road — which also serves as NCO 4 headquarters. Together these campuses require extensive ongoing medical-grade housekeeping and specialty cleaning services. In May 2026, NCO 4 issued sources sought 36C24426Q0567 for a VISN 4-wide window and surface cleaning contract covering all 8 VISN 4 medical centers, signaling a multi-million dollar recompete. GSA Region 3 (Mid-Atlantic) manages major federal real estate in downtown Pittsburgh including the William S. Moorhead Federal Building at 1000 Liberty Ave and the Joseph F. Weis Jr. US Courthouse. The US Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District is a key tenant at the Moorhead Federal Building. The SCA Janitor floor for Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Washington, and Westmoreland counties is $17.07/hr under WD 2015-4235 Rev 33 (effective May 13, 2026 — the most recently revised WD among the 10 metros).

SCA wage floor (current WD)
WD 2015-4235 Rev 33, effective May 13, 2026, covers Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Washington, and Westmoreland counties and sets Janitor (occupation code 11150) at $17.07/hr base + $5.55/hr H&W fringe = loaded floor ~$22.62/hr. This WD carries the most recent effective date of all 10 Batch 2 metros (May 2026). 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 governs for covered contracts.
