Frequently asked questions
How much does the federal government spend on facilities maintenance in Pennsylvania?
Since Oct 2024, agencies obligated $431.6M across 968 facilities maintenance contracts performed in Pennsylvania (NAICS 561210, 238220), an average of $446K per award. The Department of Defense is the largest buyer.
Where are facilities maintenance bids posted in Pennsylvania?
Federal opportunities performed in Pennsylvania are posted on SAM.gov (filter by place of performance). State-level work is posted on PA eMarketplace / JAGGAER, and counties, cities, and school districts run their own portals — register with the largest ones in your service area.
Do I need to register with the state of Pennsylvania to bid?
For Pennsylvania state agency contracts, yes — register as a vendor on PA eMarketplace / JAGGAER. Federal contracts performed in Pennsylvania only require SAM.gov registration, though state small-business certifications can still help with subcontracting.
What's the difference between O&M and BOS contracts?
Operations & Maintenance covers building systems for one or a few facilities. Base Operations Support bundles many functions (maintenance, grounds, custodial, utilities) across an installation — larger, more complex, and usually requiring substantial past performance or teaming.
How is facilities maintenance work priced?
Typically a firm-fixed monthly price for preventive maintenance plus pre-priced labor rates and parts terms for repairs above a threshold. Underpricing the PM baseline is the most common new-contractor mistake.
