This document contains a Q&A update related to a federal contract opportunity for CDC/NASIC Custodial Services at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. The solicitation (FA8601-24-R-0014) is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services, expected to result in a firm fixed-price contract. Key details include:
The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the required custodial services, including cleaning frequencies and requirements for different facility areas. There are some discrepancies between the PWS and an attached "Tasks" worksheet, which will be addressed via amendment. The government will not provide information on the incumbent contractor or their staffing/pricing. Offerors must submit proposals by July 15, 2024, to be evaluated on technical capability and total evaluated price. The procurement is set aside for 8(a) small businesses under NAICS code 561720. A kick-off meeting will be scheduled with the successful offeror after contract award, but a transition period is not guaranteed.
