DFACs, galleys, base exchanges, and officer clubs never stop feeding the mission. Facilitec Southwest delivers background-cleared, protocol-driven NFPA 96 hood cleaning to military installations across TX, OK, LA, NM & AR — on time, on record, and inspection-ready.
Military dining facilities run on timing that civilian restaurants never face — early chow, continuous ops, deployment rotations, and field exercises all converge on one kitchen line. A single exhaust fire or suppression discharge can shut down a DFAC for days, ripple into unit readiness, and trigger command-level review. Facilitec Southwest keeps base kitchens clean, compliant, and online — with crews that understand the protocol, the paperwork, and the chain of command.
Regular hood cleaning dramatically reduces your risk by keeping flammable grease out of the exhaust system and ensuring your suppression system can perform properly during an emergency.
Gate pre-clearance, visitor control processing, and escort linkup with the installation POC before any tool reaches the kitchen.
Remove heavy grease from the entire exhaust system.
Apply industry-leading cleaning agents, then pressure wash to remove remaining residue.
Repeat as needed until clean and compliant, then apply your service sticker and documentation.
Your rooftop is just as vulnerable as your hood. Facilitec Southwest installs and maintains rooftop grease containment systems to stop leaks, protect roofing materials, and prevent costly repairs.
Continuous-operation DFACs and galleys: monthly. Standard dining halls and BX food courts: quarterly. Clubs, CDC kitchens, and low-use catering spaces: semi-annually. Training-base kitchens during high-throughput cycles often require accelerated frequency — we align our schedule to your feeding tempo.
Yes. Our technicians are drug-tested and background-screened, and we have extensive experience operating under CAC-escorted access, visitor-control-center processing, and secure-area escort requirements. We will provide any documentation your VCC, Provost Marshal, or security office requires.
Yes. We maintain an active SAM.gov registration with current UEI and can accept prime, subcontract, and BPA task-order work. We routinely work with major DoD foodservice contractors and installation support primes.
No. We schedule between meal periods, during midnight rations gaps, overnight, or during unit field rotations. Every cleaning is turned over fully operational and inspection-ready before the next meal period begins.
Yes. Every job meets or exceeds NFPA 96 (2021 edition), our reports align with UFC 3-600-01 expectations, and our compliance packets have been accepted by installation safety offices and fire marshals across all seven Southwestern states we serve.
Carefully. Our crews follow facility-specific handling rules for photography, floor plans, and reporting. Documentation is delivered only to the POCs you designate, stored under controlled access, and redacted when the mission requires it.
