by Shane Henson — November 4, 2013—Rowe Contracting Service Inc., a full-service facilities operations company, announced that it has been awarded a custodial services contract by the Department of Defense to provide facilities and janitorial service for the Pentagon. Virtually a city in itself, the Pentagon is one of the world’s largest office buildings, housing approximately 23,000 military and civilian employees who help oversee each of the branches of the military.
Rowe was chosen in part because of its success in delivering complete facility and logistic support services for other large government and commercial buildings, both domestic and overseas, where security is of the utmost importance. As a prime vendor, the combination of Rowe’s expertise, GSA Schedule 03FAC (Facilities, Maintenance & Management) contract, (GS-21F-0166Y), and their facilities and janitorial capabilities offered procurement officers an ideal combination of governmental vetting, facilitating this contract award.
By deploying a computerized project management information system, Rowe says it offers clients full coverage all day, year round, and ensures consistency and safeguards continuity. Rowe also provides all key personnel, including program managers, property managers, supervisors, administrative support personnel, quality control personnel, security personnel, and engineers.
According to Rowe, its mission is to provide complete facility and logistic support services in the most cost-efficient, responsible and reliable method possible. Rowe says it diligently maintains full compliance with all federal, state, city/local regulations, codes and standards in performance of all services.
The company’s services include: painting; plumbing; carpet and upholstery cleaning; construction clean-up; window blind cleaning; pest control; parking lot maintenance/repair, striping and sweeping; carpet and tile removal; drywall repair; duct cleaning; event cleaning; pressure washing; tenant make-ready/turn-key preparation; HVAC; maintenance technicians; and janitorial services.
