PART 1

GENERAL

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personnel services contract to provide Data Center Cleaning and Maintenance Services for the establishment of a safe and clean environment to HQ USMEPCOM Data Center, with onsite cleaning and maintenance. The government will not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein as outlined in table 1. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the contractor who, in turn is responsible to the government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary at HQ USMEPCOM (DATA CENTER) as identified in this

Performance Work Statement, the contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: The United States Military Entrance Processing Command is the vital link between recruiting and training today's armed forces. The command's motto, "Freedom's Front Door" symbolizes the command's mission of determining the physical, mental, and moral qualifications of every member of the armed services. HQ USMEPCOM with headquarters in North Chicago, Ill., is a joint service command staffed with people from all five branches of service. The command, through its 65 Military Entrance Processing Stations, determines whether applicants are qualified for enlistment based on standards set by each of the services.

Currently the HQ USMEPCOM data center does not have a service agreement to maintain a clean and safe environment for reliable computing operations to meet the needs to successfully provide real-time entrance processing and qualification services to the Accession Community, and other government agencies thereby putting future entrance processing time, and qualification background checks at risk by severely impeding the number of applicants that can be processed into the Armed Services.

Therefore, the main goal of HQ USMEPCOM is to establish an ongoing cleaning and maintenance program to ensure that the Date Center is at all times a clean, healthy, and a safe environment to work in by eliminating dust and d i r t buildup, thus ensuring a robust and reliable connectivity in support of HQ USMEPCOM and our Accession Partners while protecting HQ USMEPCOM systems and Networks to maximize mission assurance.
