Federal cleaning demand in Richmond, VA
Richmond is the capital of Virginia and hosts a layered federal custodial market spanning defense logistics, VA healthcare, and civilian agency facilities. Defense Logistics Agency Richmond — headquartered at the Defense Supply Center Richmond (DSCR) complex at 6090 Strathmore Road — is the single largest federal employer in the metro with thousands of employees across a sprawling logistics campus, generating multi-million-dollar annual custodial requirements through the DLA Contracting Services Office. The Central Virginia VA Health Care System (formerly Hunter Holmes McGuire VAMC) at 1201 Broad Rock Blvd is the VISN 6 inpatient facility for the Richmond market, with NCO 6 (36C246) issuing SDVOSB-set-aside janitorial IDIQs and task orders on a recurring basis. GSA Region 3 (Mid-Atlantic) manages the Lewis F. Powell Jr. US Courthouse and the Robinson-Merhige US Courthouse in downtown Richmond. WD 2015-4313 Rev 28 covers a broad 17-jurisdiction area including Richmond City and all major surrounding counties (Henrico, Chesterfield, Hanover, Goochland) at $14.69/hr — below EO 14026, so the EO floor of $17.75/hr governs for covered contracts.
