Center for Health Care Contracting, Tacoma, Washington

Janitorial/Hospital Aseptic Maintenance Services

Description of Work

The Bassett Army Community Hospital contract includes the Fort Wainwright Alaska Hospital, a full service 74 bed facility  consisting of 214,456 square feet.  ATSI provides complete hospital aseptic housekeeping services in all areas of the complex including: surgery (pre-schedule, post care, and end of the day cleaning), newborn nursery and recovery areas located in “cap, gown, and mask" critical care areas.  Ahtna has operated the Bassett Army Community Hospital Contract aseptic maintenance contract continuously since it was awarded in September 1996 to ADC (a sister subsidiary company).  It was successfully transitioned to ATSI under a separate term contract. 

The contract also included two smaller medical complexes located at Fort Greely, Alaska totaling 6,300 square feet and the Fort Richardson medical, dental clinics, laboratories, and administrative offices in Anchorage, Alaska for 42,500 square feet.  Six new modular buildings have recently been added to this contract at Fort Richardson.

Special Considerations

Numerous military personnel are processed through Fort Wainwright and Fort Richardson, Alaska.  With that there are many dependents that also require special medical care and in many instances hospital care ~ surgery, birthing, pediatrics, dental, and general surgery.  Hospital units need to be serviced and many areas aseptically cleaned paying careful attention to disinfectant standards.  With the constant occupancy changes, it is mandatory that staff react quickly, responsively, and capably.  Quality Control and continuous inspections are routinely performed.
