The 452d Mission Support Group is seeking non-personal services to deliver comprehensive custodial services at March Air Reserve Base in Linda, California, under solicitation FA466426Q0004, with a required performance start date of July 1, 2026. The contract encompasses all personnel, equipment, transportation, materials, and supervision necessary to perform routine and periodic cleaning tasks including space cleaning, floor care for vinyl, ceramic, wood, and concrete surfaces, carpet maintenance, restroom sanitation with supply replenishment, trash and recycling removal, and high dusting. The requirements are detailed in the Performance Work Statement and supporting appendices, including Air Force Common Levels of Service Standards, estimated square footages, facility floor plans, and required reporting forms. All work must comply with commercial and industry standards, OSHA safety requirements, and Air Force-specific protocols, including the use of U/L-listed equipment, non-flammable cleaning agents, and prohibition of ozone-depleting substances. The contractor must maintain an on-site management office with a qualified contract manager or alternate available within one hour during duty hours and submit detailed cleaning schedules for government approval. The contract includes a 12-month base period with four annual option periods, and services are deemed essential during crises under DoDI 3020.37. The procurement is being considered for the AbilityOne Program, prioritizing nonprofit agencies employing individuals who are blind or severely disabled, in accordance with FAR Subpart 8.7. All applicable FAR and DFARS clauses are incorporated by reference, including requirements for contractor access to Air Force installations, Freedom of Information Act compliance for handling For Official Use Only materials, and mandatory reporting of labor hours via the eCMRA portal. Contractors must submit Safety Data Sheets for all cleaning products, comply with security protocols for government property, and adhere to strict protocols for lock replacement and key control, with associated costs subject to deduction from monthly payments. The solicitation requires a Quality Control Plan as part of the bid package, and failure to provide required documentation such as SDS may result in non-responsiveness and contract termination. Proposals are due by June 19, 2026, and will be evaluated without specified pricing, as the contract is structured as a non-priced line item with unit pricing determined post-award based on bid schedules and square footage. Point of contact for inquiries is Joshua Davidson of the Air Force Reserve Command.
