PEPLOW & BOWERS LLC

Peplow & Bowers LLC specializes in comprehensive custodial and janitorial services for federal facilities, with deep expertise in maintaining high-traffic, mission-critical infrastructure including Air Traffic Control Towers and military installations. The company delivers routine Level 2 and Level 3 cleaning protocols, COVID-19 supplemental disinfection procedures, and interim facility support under strict performance work statements. Their technical proficiency includes compliance with federal sanitation standards, hazardous waste handling, and specialized cleaning for sensitive aviation and defense environments, ensuring operational continuity without disruption. A key differentiator is their ability to rapidly mobilize and scale services across geographically dispersed FAA and DoD sites, demonstrating adaptability in dynamic, time-sensitive operational windows. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of Transportation, particularly the Federal Aviation Administration, providing ongoing janitorial support for multiple Air Traffic Control facilities across Illinois and the Chicago District. They also deliver services to the Department of Defense, including at Fort McCoy, indicating experience with military base operations and stringent security protocols. Their agency engagements reflect a pattern of repeat, mission-critical support rather than one-off contracts, suggesting trusted vendor status and reliable performance under federal oversight. Peplow & Bowers LLC operates primarily under NAICS 561720, focusing on janitorial and building maintenance services tailored to federal infrastructure. Their vertical specialization lies in aviation and defense facilities, where precision, compliance, and non-disruptive operations are paramount. This positions them as a niche provider for government entities requiring high-standard, low-impact cleaning in secure, high-availability environments. As a Women-Owned Small Business and Woman-Owned Business certified firm based in Washington, Illinois, Peplow & Bowers LLC leverages federal small business programs to compete for targeted contracts. Their geographic footprint centers on the Midwest, with a strong presence in Illinois-based federal facilities, allowing for rapid response and localized workforce deployment. The company’s certifications enhance its eligibility for set-aside opportunities while reinforcing its commitment to diversity in federal contracting.
