NAICS 561720 – Janitorial Services encompasses the provision of commercial cleaning and maintenance services essential to sustaining safe, sanitary, and operational environments across federal, state, and local facilities. This includes routine custodial tasks such as floor care, waste removal, disinfection, restroom sanitation, glass cleaning, and specialized decontamination protocols in sensitive environments like healthcare facilities, laboratories, and secure government buildings. Services are often delivered under performance-based contracts requiring adherence to federal hygiene standards, environmental compliance regulations, and security protocols. Janitorial services are a foundational component of facility operations, supporting mission continuity across defense, health, transportation, and public infrastructure sectors. Top contractors in this sector include a mix of small business specialists and mid-sized service providers such as NINETY FIVE SOUTH, INC., TAKEUCHI COMMERCIAL CLEANING SERVICES, LLC, HOTEP CONSULTING LLC, and XTREMELY CLEAN JANITORIAL SERVICES LLC, alongside larger firms like AECOM TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC. and D2 GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS, INC. The competitive landscape is characterized by high participation from small businesses and service-disabled veteran-owned firms, with many contracts set aside under SBA size standards. Contracting is often localized, favoring regional providers with established facility access and workforce capabilities. Primary federal buyers include the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, General Services Administration, and Department of Homeland Security, with significant demand driven by VA medical centers, military installations, and GSA-managed federal buildings. State and municipal entities such as Leon County Schools and the City of Tampa also represent consistent demand, particularly for school and public building maintenance programs. The market is highly fragmented but opportunity-dense, with recurring, long-term service contracts favoring contractors with proven reliability, compliance expertise, and scalable workforce models. Growing emphasis on infection control, green cleaning protocols, and facility security integration presents expanding avenues for specialized service providers in the federal janitorial services sector.

Small Business Size Standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 561720 work as a small business.

$22.0M
Applies to the whole industry code

The SBA cap for this NAICS (13 CFR 121.201). A business at or under it can self-certify as small for work in this code, which is what makes it eligible for a small-business set-aside. The cap is set per NAICS, so the same company can be small in one code and not in another.

13 CFR 121.201, effective January 1, 2026. The SBA revises the table roughly once a year.

Bidder counts reported on past federal awards in this NAICS (USAspending). An open opportunity has no bidders yet, so this is the historical norm for similar work, not a fact about this solicitation. Not all awards report bidder counts, and fewer bidders often means incumbent-held work rather than an easier win. Federal reporting of bidder counts fell from ~96% of awards (FY2016) to ~30% (FY2018 onward); the chart shows shares of reported awards, and washed-out stretches mark years with fewer than 30 of them.
