The March Air Reserve Base is located in Riverside County, California, and is home to the 452d Air Mobility Wing1. The 452d Operational Contracting Office manages all contracts for minor construction, services, supplies, and other base day-to-day operational support requirements at the March Air Reserve Base12.
I found a detailed description of the contracting office on the official website of the March Air Reserve Base. The website states that the 452nd Contracting Office does not invite or hold meetings with any vendor and most of the supplies for the base are purchased with government purchase cards though mandatory sources such as UNICOR and GSA1.

The Base Operations and Support (BOS) Services contract at March Air Reserve Base (March ARB) is a large and complex contract that provides a variety of services to the base, including:
- Supply
- Vehicle operations and maintenance
- Traffic management
- Real property maintenance

The BOS contract is currently held by Criterion Corp., which was awarded the contract in December 2019. The contract is for a five-year period, with a potential for two one-year extensions. The total value of the contract is $554.6 million.
Here are some of the key features of the BOS contract:
- The contract is a performance-based contract, which means that Criterion Corp. is paid based on its performance in meeting the contract requirements.
- The contract includes a small business subcontracting clause, which requires Criterion Corp. to subcontract at least 50% of the work to small businesses.
- The contract includes a labor standards clause, which requires Criterion Corp. to pay its employees prevailing wages and benefits.
The BOS contract is an important part of the operation of March ARB. It helps to ensure that the base has the resources it needs to carry out its mission.
