DRTC picks up 5th straight CIMS re-certification

We’re excited to say we’ve earned our fifth straight CIMS (Cleaning Industry Management Standard) re-certification!

The CIMS certification is awarded to custodial providers who demonstrate a commitment to excellence and continuous improvement in their management and custodial services. DRTC was evaluated in six areas including quality systems, service delivery, human resources, regulatory compliance, management commitment, and green building. DRTC has been CIMS certified since 2014.

 “Achieving our fifth consecutive CIMS re-certification reflects our commitment to quality and reliability in support of the mission at the locations we serve,” said DRTC Executive Director/CEO Deborah Copeland, M.Ed. “We are proud to continue upholding the high standards that CIMS represents.”

DRTC holds federal custodial contracts at Tinker Air Force Base, the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, the U.S. Marshals Oklahoma City office, and the federal complex in downtown Oklahoma City. Combined, DRTC’s custodial team cleans more than 7 million square feet at these locations.

As of 2023, DRTC is one of more than 340 companies globally that is CIMS certified. In addition to re-certification, DRTC received a distinction of honors for exceeding CIMS six core areas of business.

Agencywide, DRTC serves, trains or employs approximately 900 people living with disabilities or limiting conditions. Last year, people employed across all DRTC’s programs earned $6.2 million in wages. More than 75% of DRTC’s programs and employment opportunities are based in the community.
