About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file for a carpet cleaning custodial services Request for Information (RFI) for the Air Force Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base. The RFI covers a carpet cleaning project for 13,614 square feet of space, including 26 rooms/offices and one large area with 67 cubicles, located in Building 3735 at 120 N. Rosamond Blvd. Key details include: the cleaning will occur on two consecutive Saturdays during normal business hours (0800-1700), the carpet has never been professionally cleaned before, and it is a first-floor location.
Contractor requirements include obtaining base access through a Visitor Control Center background check process (names needed 3 days in advance), having access to water and electricity onsite, and potentially subcontracting the work with base contracting permission. Payment will be processed through the Government Purchase Card (GPC). The RFI is part of market research to determine acquisition strategy, with potential for a future firm-fixed price contract under NAICS code 561720. Interested vendors are requested to submit capability statements by 24 June 2025 at 4:00 PM PDT to the specified Air Force contracting personnel.
