ANDREWS PLAZA, NEW YORK, NY Key points: 1. Contract awarded to a single vendor for janitorial services. 2. Long contract duration of 2648 days suggests potential for price escalation. 3.

Value Assessment
Rating: fair
The contract value of $29.4M over approximately 7 years averages to about $4.2M annually. Benchmarking this against similar large-scale janitorial contracts in major metropolitan areas is difficult without more specific service details, but it appears to be within a reasonable range given the duration and scope.
Cost Per Unit: N/A
Competition Analysis
Competition Level: sole-source
The contract was awarded as a delivery order, implying it may have been part of a larger indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract or a specific sole-source justification. The lack of explicit competition for this specific order limits price discovery and potentially leads to a higher price than if multiple vendors had bid.
Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayers may have paid a premium due to the absence of competitive bidding for this significant contract.
Public Impact
Ensures cleanliness and maintenance of federal buildings in New York City. Supports employment through Fedcap Rehabilitation Services, which may employ individuals with barriers to employment. Potential for higher costs borne by taxpayers due to limited competition.
Waste & Efficiency Indicators
Waste Risk Score: 50 / 10
Warning Flags
- Long contract duration
- Sole-source award
- Lack of small business participation
Positive Signals
- Provides essential building services
- Supports a rehabilitation service provider
Sector Analysis
Janitorial services are a common operational expense for government facilities. Spending benchmarks vary widely based on facility size, location, and service level. This contract represents a significant investment in maintaining federal properties in a high-cost urban environment.
Small Business Impact
The data indicates this contract was not set aside for small businesses. While Fedcap Rehabilitation Services may be a large organization, the absence of a small business set-aside means opportunities for smaller, local janitorial companies were not prioritized in this award.
Oversight & Accountability
The General Services Administration (GSA) is responsible for managing federal buildings. Oversight would involve ensuring contract compliance, service quality, and adherence to terms. The long duration necessitates ongoing monitoring to prevent cost creep and ensure continued value.

What specific services are included in the janitorial contract to justify the $29.4M price tag over seven years?
The provided data lacks specific details on the scope of janitorial services. A comprehensive understanding of the contract's value requires a breakdown of tasks, frequency, square footage serviced, and any specialized cleaning requirements. Without this, it's difficult to definitively assess if the price is justified or if there are opportunities for cost savings through service optimization or renegotiation.
What was the justification for awarding this contract as a sole-source delivery order, and what was the impact on pricing?
The justification for a sole-source award is not provided. Typically, sole-source contracts are used when only one vendor can meet the government's needs. This lack of competition likely resulted in a higher price than would have been achieved through a competitive bidding process, potentially costing taxpayers more.
How does Fedcap Rehabilitation Services' mission align with the delivery of these janitorial services, and what is the measurable impact on their rehabilitation goals?
Fedcap Rehabilitation Services' mission is to provide opportunities for individuals with barriers to employment. Awarding this contract likely supports that mission by creating jobs. However, the data does not quantify the number of individuals employed through this contract or measure the success of their rehabilitation outcomes, making the social impact assessment incomplete.
