Janitorial Services Government Contracts in Florida
Government janitorial contracts cover routine custodial work in federal buildings, courthouses, military installations, schools, and state facilities. Most solicitations are firm-fixed-price, awarded under NAICS 561720, and frequently set aside for small businesses — including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB firms. Agencies care most about staffing reliability, quality control, and your ability to pass background checks for building access.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the federal government spend on janitorial services in Florida?
Since Oct 2024, agencies obligated $132.5M across 249 janitorial services contracts performed in Florida (NAICS 561720), an average of $532K per award. The Department of Defense is the largest buyer.
Where are janitorial services bids posted in Florida?
Federal opportunities performed in Florida are posted on SAM.gov (filter by place of performance). State-level work is posted on MyFloridaMarketPlace, 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 Florida to bid?
For Florida state agency contracts, yes — register as a vendor on MyFloridaMarketPlace. Federal contracts performed in Florida only require SAM.gov registration, though state small-business certifications can still help with subcontracting.
Do I need past government experience to win janitorial contracts?
No. Agencies accept relevant commercial past performance — large office buildings, hospitals, and schools all count. Strong references with measurable quality records can outweigh missing federal experience, especially on small business set-asides.
What is the Service Contract Act and does it apply?
The SCA (now SCLS) requires paying federally-determined minimum wages and benefits to service employees on most federal contracts over $2,500. The wage determination is attached to the solicitation — price your labor from it, not from local market rates.
