What this means
- The middle janitorial award in the Chicago, IL area was $35k (FY2021-FY2025, 187 priced awards).
- That is 75% higher than the median for janitorial in Illinois ($20k).
- Competed awards drew a median of 8 offers (reported for 35 of 35).
- 9% of competed awards drew only one offer.
- In FY2025 the middle award was $51.2k, up 47% from FY2024 ($34.7k).
- Tip 60% of these awards were task orders under single-award contracts (IDIQs). Only the company holding that contract could get them, so watch for the umbrella contract to be re-bid.
- Tip 51% of awards with a reported set-aside were reserved for small businesses, so small firms were not bidding against large companies.
