The HAMS program is a 100% Small Business Set Aside. The NAICS Code for this acquisition is 561720-Janitorial Services. The small business size standard is $16,500,000.00.

The HAMS requirement is a non-personal service providing certified medical housekeepers, and janitorial custodians to implement the United States Air Force (USAF) HAMS services at 52 USAF Medical Treatment Facilities (MTFs) throughout the Continental United States (CONUS).

The three general requirements for aseptic management are: 1) aseptic cleaning, which is the removal of soil from surfaces; 2) protection, which is preventing damage to surfaces and equipment caused by normal use or improper cleaning procedures; and 3) beautification which is accomplished through aseptic cleaning and protection to provide a beneficial psychologically impression as it boosts patient, staff, and visitor morale.
