BLDG 1 Indoor Plant / Landscaping

This solicitation, identified as FA251726QB009, is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 561730 for indoor plant and landscaping services at Building 1 of Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The requirement is for a firm-fixed-price purchase order to maintain approximately 341 plants and 20 trees located in the atrium and west catwalk areas of the facility, with weekly inspections, replacement of unhealthy vegetation, and prompt treatment of pests or disease within seven calendar days of discovery. All watering must be performed using portable water tanks or other manual equipment as facility water hoses are strictly prohibited. Contractors must ensure that personnel applying chemical treatments hold valid state commercial pesticide applicator licenses and submit 100% of Safety Data Sheets to the facility office prior to any application. Technical compliance is evaluated as a pass/fail gate requiring a certified professional horticulturist certificate, documentation of recent performance on similar projects exceeding 300 plants, and a detailed methodology for water delivery without facility hoses. The contract has a one-year base period with four one-year option periods and a six-month extension, for a total potential duration not exceeding five years and six months. The quote submission deadline is 27 May 2026 at 4:00 PM MT, following a revised date from the original 25 May 2026. Offerors must submit two separate parts: a one-page cover letter with business details, UEI/CAGE code, size certification, and a 60-day validity statement, and a five-page technical package demonstrating compliance. Pricing must be submitted either on company letterhead or using Attachment 4’s format, and must be submitted electronically without ZIP files. All contractors must be registered in SAM.gov with current representations and certifications completed to be eligible for award. Contract administration requires use of the Wide Area WorkFlow system for invoicing and payment, with DoDAACs designated for billing, inspection, and administration. Successor personnel must obtain and return base identification credentials, and failure to do so may result in withholding of final payment. The award will go to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror, with performance expected to begin on 1 June 2026.
