Facilities Maintenance contracting in Colorado
Building operations and maintenance for owned and leased government space. We hold the O&M contract and coordinate the licensed trades that touch HVAC, electrical, plumbing, life-safety, and controls.
No special license required to bid or hold the prime. No professional or trade license is required for AXA South to bid or hold the prime contract in this category. Any work that requires a state-issued trade, professional, or specialty license is performed by a properly licensed subcontractor in the project jurisdiction. AXA South does not self-perform licensed trade work and does not represent itself as a licensee of any trade or profession.

AXA South is a contracting and program-management firm, not a licensed trade.
The market, honestly.
Colorado Springs is one of the densest concentrations of Space Force and Army demand in the country. Denver-area state and civilian federal spending fills out an IT- and facilities-heavy market.
Military space and satellite operations along the Front Range, aerospace manufacturing, federal science laboratories, outdoor-goods manufacturing, and energy extraction on the Western Slope.
For facilities maintenance specifically in Colorado, our model is direct: AXA South responds to the solicitation, holds the contract, and runs the program. Local crews and licensed trade partners in Colorado perform the work that requires their license or specialized credentials.
Peterson, Schriever, Buckley, and the Air Force Academy give Colorado Springs and Denver an unusually dense cluster of installations within short driving distance, which favors vendors who can service several sites on one route. CDOT and the Colorado Department of Corrections are the highest-volume state buyers.
State fiscal year ends June 30. Space Force and Space Command requirements in the state increasingly move through longer-cycle multiple-award vehicles rather than open annual bids. The federal fiscal year closes September 30, so August and September carry the heaviest volume of simplified-acquisition and micro-purchase activity at every installation in the state.
Colorado has no statewide minority set-aside for general procurement. CDOT administers a federal DBE program, and Denver runs its own MWBE and SBE requirements on city contracts, which are separate from the state's.
Assuming a Denver city registration covers the state. Denver's certification and bidding system is independent of Colorado VSS, and vendors regularly miss city solicitations because they only watch the state portal.
