Dyess AFB, Custodial Services

Synopsis QA 1. Will local subcontracting be permitted and/or encouraged for this requirement? Yes, subcontracting is permitted and encouraged. However, as an 8(a) set-aside, the prime contractor must comply with all applicable FAR clauses, specifically FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, ensuring that the required percentage of work (e.g., at least 50% of personnel costs) is performed by the prime contractor. 2. Is the Government able to provide estimated square footage and building counts by AFCOLS category (Prestige, Basic, Academic, Special Requirements)? Please see Custodial Floor Plan. 3. Are cleaning frequencies and service levels expected to remain generally consistent with the current contract, or should offerors anticipate material changes in the updated PWS? Offerors must base their proposals strictly on the requirements outlined in the forthcoming Performance Work Statement (PWS). While some historical similarities may exist, the Government reserves the right to update service levels, frequencies, and requirements to meet current mission needs. Please review the new PWS thoroughly once released. 4. Will the contractor be required to furnish all restroom consumables (soap, paper products), or will any items be Government-furnished? The contractor will be required to furnish all equipment, materials, and restroom consumables (e.g., soap, paper towels, toilet tissue) necessary to perform the work, unless explicitly listed in the Government Furnished Property (GFP) section of the forthcoming solicitation. 5. Are services anticipated to be performed during standard duty hours only, or will after-hours / weekend coverage be required for certain facilities: While a majority of services may be performed during standard duty hours, after-hours, weekend, or federal holiday coverage -- 1 of 2 -- will be required for specific facilities to minimize mission disruption (e.g. CDC). 6. Is any incumbent contract performance information available for reference (e.g., staffing model, AFCOLS distribution, or lessons learned)? Offerors are expected to develop and propose their own innovative staffing models and technical approaches based solely on the workload data and requirements detailed in the new PWS. 7.
