S--BARSTOW/DUMONT JANITORIAL SERVICES

This procurement, identified as solicitation 140L1226Q0010 for Barstow/Dumont Janitorial Services, is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, restricted exclusively to small business concerns with the NAICS code 561720 for janitorial services. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price arrangement with a base period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, and includes three optional one-year extension periods through August 31, 2030. The core requirement is the cleaning and maintenance of vault toilets at three remote OHV recreation sites—Johnson Valley, Stoddard Valley, and Dumont Dunes—where contractors must operate independently in harsh desert environments without grid access to water or electricity. Performance demands include the use of four-wheel drive vehicles for unpaved terrain and self-contained powered equipment, with work scheduled between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. The Performance Work Statement and associated Price Schedule, which detail service frequencies, location-specific cleaning cycles, and cost breakdowns by season and site, have been amended to correct errors and clarify deliverables. Quality assurance is enforced through weekly in-person inspections by a Government representative, with penalties applied for unsatisfactory results: a 5% invoice deduction for the second occurrence and 10% for the third within a performance period, while allowing no more than one unsatisfactory rating per week. Offers must be submitted with a completed Standard Form 18, a detailed pricing schedule, and a technical work plan demonstrating operational capability in remote areas, including safety protocols and equipment inventories. The contract mandates compliance with numerous FAR clauses related to ethics, whistleblower rights, subcontracting limitations, biobased product certification, Buy American requirements, and combating human trafficking, as well as insurance coverage for bodily injury of at least $100,000. Payment must be submitted electronically through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, and award will be made on a best-value basis considering both technical approach and price, with the contracting officer retaining sole authority to modify, terminate, or accept nonconforming work. All proposals are subject to strict submission guidelines, including a required acknowledgment of amendments and a 30-day firm price commitment from the response deadline of June 16, 2026.
