Camino Real RD Janitorial

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, through the Cibola National Forest, has awarded Contract 127EAV26C0006 to XPLICIT TECHNOLOGIES LLC for janitorial services at the Camino Real Ranger District in Peñasco, New Mexico, at a total value of $53,950.00. The contract was issued under a Total Small Business Set-Aside and follows a Low Price Technically Acceptable evaluation process, with award based solely on the lowest priced offer found technically acceptable and possessing acceptable or neutral past performance. The work involves monthly, quarterly, and biannual janitorial services for one base year beginning April 1, 2026, with four additional one-year option periods potentially extendable through March 31, 2031. Performance must comply with the Service Contract Labor Standards, including a wage determination of $16.40 per hour plus fringe benefits for janitorial staff, and adhere to a Quality Control Plan with all deficiencies corrected within two days of notification. Inspection and acceptance occur on-site, with payment processed exclusively through the Department of Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform. The contract includes mandatory clauses covering Buy American restrictions, subcontracting obligations, privacy training, recovered material content, and unique requirements tied to DEI compliance under 452.203-71, which explicitly prohibits funding or facilitating programs that violate federal anti-discrimination laws and makes compliance a material condition of payment subject to the False Claims Act. Subcontractors must also flow down these DEI requirements, and failure to comply may result in termination for default. The contractor is required to maintain SAM registration and comply with all applicable FAR provisions including those on employment eligibility, trafficking in persons, and government property management, though no specific packaging, preservation, or labeling standards are outlined. The contract places no limits on the number of containers or delivery methods beyond FOB Destination terms and does not specify required equipment or personnel beyond general service performance criteria.
