Janitorial Government Contracts

To win government janitorial contracts, search for custodial services, facility support and recurring contracts, including set-aside opportunities. Check facility size, staffing levels, supplies, security access and service schedules. Price staffing honestly, and show a quality-control plan that prevents performance complaints. Skip bids where the incumbent has a clear advantage or the deadline is too tight.

What to watch

custodial services, facility support, recurring contracts, and set-aside opportunities. Look for notices that match your past performance, capacity, geography, and certifications.

What to avoid

Do not chase every listing. Avoid bids where the incumbent has a clear advantage, the deadline is too tight, or the requirements do not match your proof.

Best first move

Build a narrow search, save the right keywords, and respond early to market research notices before the final solicitation is written.
