Janitorial & Cleaning contracts — common questions

How do I get janitorial contracts with the federal government?expand_more

Register free on SAM.gov under NAICS 561720, watch the federal buildings in your area, and respond to Sources Sought notices — custodial work is a classic first federal contract because past performance from commercial cleaning translates directly. Note that some custodial requirements are channeled to the AbilityOne program (nonprofits employing people with disabilities) before they ever reach open competition.

What NAICS codes cover cleaning work?expand_more

NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services) is the main one; 561790 (Other Building Services) picks up window cleaning and pressure washing, and 561740 covers carpet and upholstery cleaning. All use receipts-based size standards that most independent cleaning companies fall well under.

Is janitorial work really set aside for small business?expand_more

Yes — it's one of the most set-aside-heavy trades in federal contracting, with steady 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, and HUBZone activity on top of plain small-business set-asides. For the plain ones, self-certified size is all you need.
