The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), is conducting market research on the Federal Acquisition Service's (FAS) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Facilities Maintenance and Repair Subcategory 561210FAC (formerly 03FAC) to identify qualified firms who would be interested in submitting proposals for the requirement stated below. In particular, small businesses and socioeconomic small businesses capable of performing the requirement are highly encouraged to respond.

The performance-based work statement (PWS) will require the contractor to provide all management, supervision, labor, materials, equipment, and supplies for the conduct of efficient, effective, economical, and satisfactory operations.
