Federal cleaning demand in Portland–Vancouver–Hillsboro, OR–WA

Portland is the economic hub of the Pacific Northwest outside Seattle and hosts a significant federal footprint spanning both sides of the Oregon–Washington border. VA VISN 20 (Northwest Network) operates the VA Portland Healthcare System on Marquam Hill — one of the premier VA academic medical centers on the West Coast — plus the Vancouver Division facility across the Columbia River. GSA Region 10 (Pacific Rim) manages major federal buildings in downtown Portland including the Edith Green–Wendell Wyatt Federal Building and the Mark O. Hatfield US Courthouse. VA NCO 20 (36C260, Portland OR) handles VA janitorial solicitations under SDVOSB set-asides; the March 2024 solicitation (36C26024Q0042) for hospital-grade housekeeping sets the market benchmark for the region. Portland's SCA WD 2015-5563 Rev 26 covers a bi-state metro spanning five Oregon counties (Clackamas, Columbia, Multnomah, Washington, Yamhill) and two Washington counties (Clark, Skamania), with a $18.35/hr janitor floor — substantially above EO 14026.

SCA wage floor (current WD)

WD 2015-5563 Rev 26, effective Jul 08, 2025, covers Oregon counties of Clackamas, Columbia, Multnomah, Washington, and Yamhill plus Washington state counties of Clark and Skamania, and sets Janitor (occupation code 11150) at $18.35/hr base + $4.93/hr H&W fringe = loaded floor ~$23.28/hr. Workers on contracts entered or extended after Jan 30, 2022 are covered by EO 14026 (~$17.75/hr); the WD rate exceeds EO floor, so the $18.35 WD rate governs. (SAM.gov WD 2015-5563 Rev 26)
