The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 22 awarded a multiple-award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide janitorial services for over 30 VA medical facilities across Southern California. The $75 million IDIQ contract was set aside 100% for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). The prime contractor, Alcazar Trades, Inc., is an SDVOSB that specializes in custodial services for government clients, particularly the VA. Under this IDIQ, Alcazar Trades receives firm-fixed-price delivery orders to perform comprehensive cleaning, staffing, and maintenance support at VA hospitals, clinics, and administrative offices in the VISN 22 region, which serves a veteran population of over 300,000. The original solicitation sought janitorial services to maintain clean and sanitary healthcare environments for VA patients and staff. The contract has a period of performance through September 2029, allowing the VA to efficiently order services as needs arise at its facilities in Southern California.
Additionally, Alcazar Trades holds a separate $15 million IDIQ contract with VISN 17 for janitorial services at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in Houston, Texas. This demonstrates the company's experience and ability to manage large-scale, long-term cleaning operations for critical VA healthcare facilities nationwide. The VA's use of SDVOSB set-asides for these contracts supports its mission of serving veterans while advancing small business participation goals.
