About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for the 99 CES Custodial Services solicitation (F3GECE5230A001) at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. The Q&A addresses vendor inquiries regarding the five-year custodial services contract with a potential six-month extension, which runs from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2031. Key clarifications include confirmation that the current contract number is FA486121D0002, a Collective Bargaining Agreement is in place, the government will provide 2,074 square feet of office space plus two storage areas for contractor use, and that escorts will be provided for cleaning in secured areas. The document specifies that the government will not disclose historical staffing data or current contract values, requiring vendors to propose their own pricing and staffing levels. Vendors are directed to reference the amended solicitation and attachments for details on wage determinations, background investigation requirements, uniform standards, mechanical and storage room inclusion, consumables responsibility, and evaluation criteria.
Additional details clarified in the Q&A include confirmation that no site visit will be held, parking and supply trailer space are available on base, golf carts are permitted, facility managers are government positions, janitorial closet locations will be provided post-award, inspections will be conducted independently by the Contracting Officer Representative, stairwells and elevators are included in square footage totals, and a SF 1449 will be issued for award. The government confirmed it can provide tax-exempt status for supply purchases, will not require Ability One purchases, does not mandate past performance questionnaires beyond what is specified in Addendum 52.212-1, and intends to provide a phase-in period for contractor transition. The document directs prospective vendors to Appendix K of the revised PWS for CDC window glass measurements and references the map and wage determination document (2015-5593 Revision #29) included in the amended solicitation.
