How to bid on Lakehurst custodial services for the Air Force

What the Air Force is researching

The Department of the Air Force is researching vendors for custodial services at Lakehurst, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey, for 2027–2032. The described work includes providing management, labor, tools and equipment; cleaning facilities; and supplying and replenishing restroom soap and paper products.

This is a sources-sought notice for market research, not a solicitation. No funds are currently available, and the agency is not accepting offers or proposals at this time.

Deadline and what it means

The notice was published October 20, 2026. The response deadline is October 30, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET.

The deadline is for sending a capability statement for market research, not for submitting a bid. The notice says questions will not be answered or responded to. It directs interested companies to keep checking SAM.gov for a future solicitation.

Who this opportunity may suit

This notice may interest custodial and commercial cleaning firms that can provide staff, equipment and restroom consumables for facilities. It may also be relevant to vendors assessing whether their capabilities fit a multi-year custodial requirement at a military installation.

How to respond

Interested companies may email a company capability statement using the contacts listed in the notice. The provided information does not include those contact details.

Prepare a useful capability statement

Keep the statement focused on custodial work relevant to the described requirement. Clearly explain your firm’s services, staffing and equipment capabilities, and experience supplying restroom soap and paper products. Use specific examples that you can substantiate.

Review the draft Performance Work Statement and its appendices if available. The notice says Appendix A sets cleaning frequencies and Appendix B gives facility cleaning levels and estimated square footage. Use those details to assess fit, but do not treat this market research response as a proposal.

Check the statement for accuracy and send it before the deadline. Continue monitoring SAM.gov for a solicitation; this notice does not accept offers or quotes.
