You already do the work well. The reason you're not doing it for the government is the paperwork — the portals, the wage determinations, the clauses, the invoicing system. That's our half of the job.
Finding the opportunity. Reading the solicitation. Pricing and submitting the bid. Holding the contract. Every conversation with the contracting officer. Quality control documentation, required reports, and safety submittals. Invoicing through the government's payment system. Background-check paperwork for your crew. Being the accountable party when something goes sideways.
The work. Your crew, your equipment, your supplies, your schedule on site. You give us one firm monthly price and show up. If a problem comes up, you tell us — you never have to negotiate with the government.
No. Federal service contracts carry a wage determination that sets a minimum hourly wage plus a health & welfare rate — and that H&W amount can be paid as straight cash on the paycheck. It applies only to hours worked on this contract. You are not building a benefits program, and nothing changes for your other jobs or your other crews. We walk you through it, and it's priced into the number you give us.
The government's purchase is exempt, but that exemption doesn't automatically pass through to your supply purchases. Price your quote all-in, assuming your normal tax treatment, and confirm specifics with your accountant. One all-in monthly number is all we need.
Depends on the job — and we'll tell you honestly. Federal service contracts are usually one site, a fixed schedule, and a base year plus option years. That's predictable revenue you can plan a crew around, and some operators station one local person rather than run a crew from town. If the math doesn't work for you, say so early and we'll both save time.
On military installations and secured federal facilities, yes — typically fingerprints and forms before anyone gets site access, and we manage that paperwork flow with you. Be aware that felony convictions are usually disqualifying for access. We tell you this up front rather than after you've won the work, because finding out late is how contracts fail.
You invoice us monthly, and payment terms are agreed in writing before work starts — no surprises. Be aware that the government's first payment on a new contract often takes longer than the ones after it. We'll tell you exactly what to expect for your cash flow rather than letting you find out the hard way.
Fair — and worth being precise about what this is. We're the contract holder and the accountable party to the government; you're the performing partner named in our proposal, with your credentials and references presented as yours. It's a teaming relationship, and it's how a large share of federal small-business work actually gets delivered.
Yes. Quoting more than one bidder is normal, and it improves your odds of ending up with the work either way. We'll only ever ask for your price to us — never what you quoted anyone else, and we won't share ours with you. Clean lines protect all of us.
Square footages, frequencies, wage floors, and the standard of done — pulled from the actual solicitation, not a vague description. You price against facts.
All-in, with periodic work included. Plus a one-line confirmation you're a small business and a short commitment letter on your letterhead — we provide the wording.
Written subcontract, agreed terms, a kickoff call, and one point of contact who answers the phone. If we lose, you owe us nothing and we come back with the next one.
We keep a bench of vetted operators by trade and region — janitorial, grounds and landscaping, facility support, hauling and waste, and food service. When something posts near you, you get a call with a real scope and a real deadline. No cost, no exclusivity, no obligation to quote.
Same-day response, always. Call or text and you'll get a person, not a queue.
