Janitorial & Custodial contracting in New Mexico
Recurring custodial routes for office buildings, courthouses, clinics, depots, and schools. AXA South holds the contract, sets the SLA, and runs the program against agency standards while a vetted local crew puts hands on the work.
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.
New Mexico carries one of the densest national-laboratory and Air Force footprints in the country. Kirtland, Holloman, White Sands, Cannon, and the Los Alamos and Sandia laboratories drive deep federal demand year-round.
National laboratories at Los Alamos and Sandia, missile and space testing at White Sands and Holloman, oil and gas in the Permian, and ranching across the rest of the state.
For janitorial & custodial specifically in New Mexico, our model is direct: AXA South responds to the solicitation, holds the contract, and runs the program. Local crews and licensed trade partners in New Mexico perform the work that requires their license or specialized credentials.
Los Alamos and Sandia buy through their management and operating contractors, which makes them subcontract markets with their own supplier qualification systems. White Sands Missile Range generates test-support, instrumentation, and remote-site facilities demand.
State fiscal year ends June 30. Lab procurement follows Department of Energy program funding rather than the state calendar. 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.
New Mexico applies a resident business and resident veteran preference on state contracts. Tribal governments across the state's pueblos and nations procure independently, and federal 8(a) tribal entities are significant participants in the local market.
Bidding lab work through the wrong door. Registering with the M&O contractor's supply chain organization is the prerequisite, and it is not the same as being registered in SAM.

Do you self-perform the cleaning?
+
We do not maintain a national crew payroll. We hold the contract and run the program, and the labor is performed by a vetted local crew managed against our SLAs and the agency's PWS. This keeps wages, benefits, and supervision local while the agency sees one accountable prime.
Can you respond to a Service Contract Act solicitation?
+
Yes. We map every labor category to the applicable SCA wage determination, layer fringe correctly, and submit certified payroll on the cadence the agency requires.
What about AbilityOne mandatory sources?
+
When the building is on the AbilityOne Procurement List, we will tell you up front and either step aside or team with the designated nonprofit agency where appropriate. We do not chase awards we are not allowed to hold.
