How competitive are SDVOSB janitorial set-asides on SAM.gov?

Competition varies by installation and region. Small base contracts under $1M often draw three to five bidders; large multi-year base operations contracts can attract ten or more. The firms that consistently win know the agency, know the incumbent, and never miss a presolicitation.

Do SDVOSB janitorial contracts require bonding?

Bonding requirements depend on the contracting office and contract size. Many custodial service contracts under the simplified acquisition threshold do not require payment or performance bonds. Larger contracts exceeding $150,000 may trigger Miller Act bond requirements. Check each solicitation's special contract requirements.

What employees must I have before bidding on a federal janitorial contract?

You do not need a fully staffed workforce before bid submission, but you must have a credible staffing plan. Larger solicitations may require key personnel resumes or evidence of past performance with similar headcounts. SCA (Service Contract Act) wage compliance is mandatory for most janitorial contracts.
