Janitorial & Custodial contracting in Utah
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.
Utah pairs Hill AFB and Dugway with a state buying program that has invested heavily in cooperative-purchasing infrastructure. Aerospace and IT categories move at scale.
Aerospace and solid rocket motor production, software and technology along the Wasatch Front, mining, and Hill Air Force Base with a major depot mission.
For janitorial & custodial specifically in Utah, our model is direct: AXA South responds to the solicitation, holds the contract, and runs the program. Local crews and licensed trade partners in Utah perform the work that requires their license or specialized credentials.
Hill AFB's Ogden Air Logistics Complex performs depot maintenance on fighter aircraft and missiles, producing sustained industrial supply, tooling, and technical service demand. The Division of Purchasing runs statewide contracts, and Utah's cooperative contracts extend to local entities.
State fiscal year ends June 30. Depot workload at Hill is driven by aircraft induction schedules and modernization programs rather than the fiscal 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.
Utah does not operate a general state minority set-aside program. UDOT administers the federal DBE program, and federal socioeconomic categories apply on federally funded contracts.
Quoting depot supply without addressing shelf life, certification, and lot traceability. Hill rejects material on documentation grounds routinely, and the rework cost usually exceeds the margin.

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.
