Summary:

The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) is seeking information from potential sources capable of providing centralized Maintenance Call Center services to support commissary facilities as listed in the attached "Commissary Locations." This effort aims to use the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS) and the associated appendices to:

• Minimize disruptions to sales operations


• Reduce emergency maintenance incidents


• Improve energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness across DeCA facilities

DeCA currently uses three separate GSA Schedule contracts with large businesses for general maintenance, HVAC/refrigeration, and call center support across different geographic regions. Each region currently operates its own unique call center with separate processes and contact information.

For the upcoming recompete, the Government is considering a single, centralized Call Center contract that would serve all commissaries and interface with four separate Maintenance & Repair/HVAC contracts—one for each of the following regions: East to include Puerto Rico, Central, West, and Pacific to include Hawaii, Alaska and Guam only.
