Federal cleaning demand in Albuquerque, NM

Albuquerque is anchored by two of the most strategically significant federal installations in the American Southwest. Kirtland Air Force Base covers ~50,000 acres and hosts Air Force Space Command assets, the Nuclear Weapons Center, and underground storage for the national nuclear stockpile. Sandia National Laboratories — a DOE/NNSA contractor-operated research facility spanning ~3,000 buildings on the Kirtland complex — is operated by Honeywell FM&T and generates its own custodial contract vehicle separate from Air Force channels. Raymond G. Murphy VA Medical Center at 1501 San Pedro Drive is administered by NCO 22 (Gilbert AZ) under VISN 22. GSA Region 9 manages the Dennis Chavez Federal Building and Pete V. Domenici Courthouse in downtown Albuquerque. The FAA operates the Albuquerque Air Traffic Control Tower and TRACON, issuing an 8(a) set-aside custodial solicitation covering multiple New Mexico and Texas FAA facilities.
