The U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Job Corps, is seeking a Total Small Business Set-Aside for interim caretaker and security services at the Atlanta Job Corps Center located at 4850 Washington Road, South Fulton, Georgia 30349. This acquisition, identified by solicitation number 1605AE-26-Q-00005 and NAICS code 561210, requires the contractor to provide comprehensive services including 24/7/365 security, facility and grounds maintenance, property inventory, and access control for a 25-acre construction site with partially built structures. The contractor must staff the site with at least two guards—one stationed at the north entrance to log all visitors and another with vehicular mobility stationed at the secured south entrance to conduct site-wide patrols. The scope also includes maintaining an effective liaison with local law enforcement, acting as an agent for utility payments at an estimated $500 per month, and contributing a $50 monthly allowance for minor fence repairs. Daily electronic reports with site conditions, photos, security logs, and observations are mandatory, along with weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly status meetings as directed by the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer’s Representative. The period of performance includes a base three-month period and a single three-month option, totaling six months, with all work performed on-site and no travel allowed. The solicitation mandates strict compliance with Small Business Administration regulations as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, requiring all offerors to be certified as small businesses under NAICS 561210 and to maintain current representations in SAM. Offerors must demonstrate relevant experience by submitting three completed caretaker service projects within the last five years, with at least one project valued at $350,000 or more, and must assign a Project Manager with a minimum of ten years of progressive facilities and personnel management experience. Evaluation is based on a best-value approach where non-price factors—including technical approach, past performance, safety and quality control, and contract experience—are collectively weighted higher than price, with all non-price factors considered equal in weight relative to one another. Price will be assessed for completeness and reasonableness, ensuring no unbalanced pricing across CLINs or options. Proposals must be submitted in two volumes via email to two designated points of contact by June 25, 2026, at 5:00 PM EDT
