The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC), has a requirement for Enterprise Grounds Maintenance, Custodial, and Pest Control Services.

NASA’s existing model of managing Grounds Maintenance, Custodial, and Pest Control Services through individual contracts at each center has supported localized control and operational flexibility; however, pursuing a streamlined, centralized contracting mechanism will increase efficiency and the ability to consistently meet mission needs.

The objective is to establish one or more overarching enterprise contract vehicles that will include a pool of awarded vendors who are eligible to compete for orders related to Grounds Maintenance, Custodial, and/or Pest Control services.  Each order will be tailored to each NASA center’s specific requirements.  The intent is to:

• Streamline the Procurement Process – Most of the procurement effort will be performed at the enterprise vehicle level, which reduces administrative actions and streamlines pre-award activities.
• Create Consistency – The enterprise contract vehicle(s) will standardize elements such as contract line-item numbers (CLINS), Data Requirement Deliverables (DRDs), and PWS language – making it easier for NASA to manage requirements, expenditures, and performance consistently.
• Improve Strategic Visibility – The enterprise vehicle approach will enhance visibility across operations, enterprise-level spending, and resource utilization, providing valuable insights that will drive more informed decision-making.
• Improve Scaling and Innovation – Innovative approaches, technologies, and process improvements may be limited to a single center or contract. The enterprise vehicle(s) will create a pathway to scale successful solutions across multiple centers, while still enabling local flexibility through individual orders.

General Requirements:

The following requirements are applicable to this enterprise vehicle and each order. Center specific
information may be included at the order level. Each order PWS will specify which of the following sections are applicable to that requirement:

• Passes and Badges
