Bakersfield Arc, Inc.

Bakersfield Arc, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit AbilityOne agency headquartered in Bakersfield, California, delivers janitorial and custodial services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (89% of recent awards) and performs routine maintenance and facilities support work. The vendor operates predominantly under no set-aside designation; across its recent footprint, awards span full-and-open and agency-specific procurement vehicles without federal small-business set-aside framing.

Bakersfield Arc's capability portfolio centers on housekeeping and custodial janitorial services — 22 of 27 recent awards carry primary PSC Housekeeping-Custodial Janitorial coding, with 20 awards classified under NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services). Representative prime work includes a $513,192.50 purchase order from the Department of the Army Reserve Command for routine custodial services at a Bakersfield, California facility, running through March 31, 2029 (awarded April 1, 2024), and facilities maintenance work under contract vehicles serving the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 22. Sub-award activity, though limited, includes vehicle purchases under federal grant sub-awards (gas vans procured in November 2025 and March 2026).

Customer concentration is pronounced and regionally anchored. The top two funding agencies — the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (8 awards, $3.4 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Army Reserve Command (6 awards, $1.1 million) — account for approximately 70% of the vendor's combined potential value and 67% of award count. The Marine Corps, the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management California Region, and the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration round out the active set. Bakersfield Arc places three task orders under an Indefinite Delivery Contract (V691P6439) carrying $1 million in combined potential value.

Activity is sparse and sporadic — one award per year across 2024, 2025, and 2026 — yielding a combined potential value of $6.6 million against combined obligated dollars of $9 million across 27 awards since 1999. The vendor operates at minimal scale relative to federal contracting volume and lacks presence on government-wide acquisition vehicles or multi-agency IDIQs typical of federal service providers.
