SAM.gov entity search →Why Ness, in numbers your file can hold.
Janitorial / EVS and masonry / facility maintenance under one certified contractor — fewer subcontract layers on JOC, IDIQ and facility-support task orders.
Supervisors run ATP-meter bioload checks on up to ten high-touch areas per inspection, several times a month. Results are recorded, scored and reported.
Every visit closes with a scored supervisor QC inspection and an emailed service report — audit-ready documentation without a data call.
We prepare make-ready areas for The Joint Commission, CMS, OSHA and CDC inspections and have helped clients earn facility-cleanliness awards.
When a client's own EVS department is short-staffed, our crews fill the gap at the same standard — operations continue without compromising patient satisfaction.
Combined expertise in janitorial, masonry and facility upkeep from one South Side office, close to the agency sites we serve.
Built for the standards your surveyors carry.
SOPs aligned to The Joint Commission environment-of-care and infection-control chapters, CMS Conditions of Participation and CDC guidance.
OSHA-trained crews: chemical handling, PPE, bloodborne-pathogen awareness. Hospital-grade chemistry applied to label specification.
Team Cleaning Process with monthly customized schedules, supervisor inspections and ATP-meter verification across high-touch areas.
Scored inspections and per-visit service reports — retained and exportable for contract reporting and CPARS.
W-2 employees, trained and supervised; background checks and badging to the facility's requirements; staffing flexes to the scope of work.
Licensed, bonded and insured. Certificates of insurance, W-9 and certification letters furnished with every quote. Government purchase card accepted.
Work we can put a reference behind.
