The contractor must notify designated Military Service Representatives (MSRs) of any schedule deviations, and MSRs are required to be present during cleaning sessions. A detailed checklist is mandatory to track completed tasks, including trash removal, vacuuming, disinfecting high-touch surfaces, and periodic carpet cleaning, with strict adherence to using environmentally friendly products. Services must comply with industry standards and requirements, such as notifying the USACE district for vacancies longer than four weeks and ensuring no cleaning is conducted on federal holidays.
