Federal Janitorial RFPs — San Francisco Bay (2026)

Federal cleaning demand in San Francisco–Oakland–Berkeley, CA

The San Francisco Bay Area holds one of the densest concentrations of high-wage federal janitorial demand in the nation. GSA Public Buildings Service Region 9 — headquartered at 50 United Nations Plaza in San Francisco — manages dozens of owned and leased federal buildings across the Bay Area. VA VISN 21 operates the San Francisco VA Medical Center at 4150 Clement Street, a full inpatient campus serving veterans throughout Northern California. NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field is a major standalone federal campus requiring specialized custodial services across research laboratories, hangar structures, and administrative buildings. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (DOE) and multiple federal courthouses in Oakland and San Francisco generate additional recurring demand. NCO 21 (36C261, Livermore CA) handles VA janitorial solicitations under SDVOSB set-asides; GSA Region 9 manages civilian building custodial through BPAs and IDIQs. San Francisco County contracts may fall under the union-rate WD 1974-1257, while San Mateo and Alameda counties use standard prevailing-wage WDs at $20.93/hr and $18.41/hr respectively.
