SCA Wage Rates by State
Current Service Contract Act rates for the 10 states with the most federal housekeeping and facility contract spending.
We ranked the states by federal contract obligations in fiscal years 2024 and 2025 for housekeeping services (product and service codes S2, such as custodial, guard and trash collection) and maintenance of real property (Z1), by place of performance, from USAspending.gov. We left out landscaping code S208, because in these years it was dominated by one-off disaster debris removal in North Carolina and Hawaii. We also left out the District of Columbia and the territories.
Each state page shows the key rates in the county with the most of that spending, from the standard WD on SAM.gov as of November 10, 2026. H&W is $5.92 per hour on every one of these WDs.
