Blakeslee Housekeeping Services

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is soliciting proposals for housekeeping services at Blakeslee Air Force Recreation Area (BAFRA) in Kure Beach, North Carolina. The contractor must provide full turnover cleaning services on an as-needed basis for 36 vacation rental cottages comprising 12 one-bedroom units, 16 three-bedroom units, and 8 four-bedroom units, with all cleaning required to be completed between 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on the same day service is requested. The contractor is responsible for providing all supervision, personnel, equipment, transportation, materials, and supplies necessary to meet the comprehensive cleaning specifications outlined in the Performance Work Statement, including linens management, complete unit cleaning, sanitization, and thermostat/lighting control. Evaluation will be based on three primary criteria: technical proposal factors (staffing plan and service completion approach), total evaluated price including all option periods, and past performance based on recency and relevance of turnover housekeeping experience with quality ratings. The proposal submission deadline is February 23, 2026 at 1:00 PM EST, a site visit was held on February 11, 2026 at 10:30 AM EST, and questions and answers were posted on February 13, 2026.

The solicitation is not designated as a set-aside, though the original solicitation document referenced a Women-Owned Small Business set-aside designation. The incumbent contractor is VIAKORP CORP, which previously held contract FA480925P0001 valued at $1,118,700.00 for a base year plus four option years. Based on 2025 occupancy data, the government anticipates approximately 206 cleanings in Q1, 654 in Q2, 672 in Q3, and 306 in Q4, though maximum quantities of 450 units (4-bedroom), 1,000 units (3-bedroom), and 800 units (1-bedroom) per year represent potential maximums rather than guaranteed minimums. The base contract runs from March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027, with five optional one-year extension periods available through September 1, 2031. The contract is funded through nonappropriated funds (NAFBUY) and does not obligate federal appropriated funds, with compensation based on the number of units cleaned per month according to the contract line item structure.
