Federal cleaning demand in Raleigh–Cary, NC
The Raleigh–Durham Research Triangle is one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the Southeast and hosts a distinctive concentration of federal research, VA healthcare, and administrative facilities. VA VISN 6 (Mid-Atlantic Health Care Network) operates the Durham VA Medical Center at 508 Fulton Street — a full inpatient campus with ~393,000 sq ft of cleanable administrative and non-clinical space — plus the Garner VA Outpatient Clinic in Wake County. NCO 6 (36C246) issues SDVOSB-set-aside janitorial solicitations covering both facilities and surrounding CBOCs; the Durham VAMC main campus award (36C24626P0207, $2.65M) went to M&H United LLC in December 2025, and the Garner clinic award (36C24625P1093, $1.21M) went to Chief Safety Solutions in June 2025. The EPA's Research Triangle Park campus (109 T.W. Alexander Drive, RTP NC 27709) is one of the nation's largest federal research campuses at approximately 1.5M square feet across dozens of laboratory and office buildings, generating substantial ongoing custodial requirements through EPA's own contracting office. GSA Region 4 manages the Raleigh Federal Building and US Courthouse at 310 New Bern Ave.

SCA wage floor (current WD)
WD 2015-4393 Rev 30, effective Apr 29, 2025, covers Franklin and Wake counties (Raleigh, Cary, Garner) and sets Janitor (occupation code 11150) at $15.71/hr base + $4.93/hr H&W fringe = loaded floor ~$20.64/hr. Durham County (Durham VAMC) is served by an adjacent WD within the same NCO 6 network at a comparable rate. Workers on contracts entered or extended after Jan 30, 2022 are covered by EO 14026 (~$17.75/hr) — the EO rate exceeds the WD rate, so $17.75/hr effectively governs as the floor for covered contracts in this market.
