Facilities Maintenance Vendor Industry Day

BACKGROUND: The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), will be holding a Facilities Maintenance Industry Day for interested vendors seeking information regarding upcoming facilities management-related procurements in Regions 4, 5, 6, and 7, which are comprised of the following states: Region 4: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky. Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee Region 5: Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin Region 6: Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska Region 7: Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas The goal of this event is to inform the industry of GSA PBS’ initiative to utilize the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) - Facilities Category, Facilities Maintenance and Repair Subcategory (MAS-Facilities) for upcoming facilities management-related (custodial, operation & maintenance (O&M), combined facilities management (CFM), and elevator services) procurements. The acquisition strategy for a number of upcoming procurements in Regions 4, 5, 6, and 7 is to compete requirements to the maximum extent practicable, amongst MAS-Facilities vendors, utilizing best value selection procedures (technical and price factors considered), with the exception of services that are on the Procurement List maintained by the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (see FAR Subpart 8.7). In addition, utilization of small-business, in particular socioeconomic (8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVOSB), Women-Owned (WOSB)) concerns, will be a priority. All interested vendors (small and large) are encouraged to attend this event. This event is not limited to current MAS-Facilities contract holders; vendors interested in becoming a MAS-Facilities contract holder are highly encouraged to also attend.
