Data Center Floor Cleaning

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) requires contractor support for cleaning floors in its data center, and this requirement is being procured through a non-competitive method under the Patent and Trademark Office Efficiency Act, exempting it from the usual competition rules. The agency plans to award a firm fixed-price contract to R.J.C. Enterprises, Inc., a Women-Owned Small Business based in Ellicott City, Missouri, with a contract value estimated at $84,000. The contract includes a base year plus three one-year option periods. This procurement follows the Alternative Competition Method outlined in the Patent and Trademark Acquisition Guidelines and is assigned under NAICS code 561720, which relates to janitorial services. The contract work location is in Alexandria, Virginia, aligned with the USPTO’s offices there. Although this notice is not a solicitation or a request for competitive bids, other Women-Owned Small Businesses interested in performing this work during the synopsis period may contact the contracting officer and submit a succinct capability statement, not exceeding two pages, to demonstrate their qualifications. All inquiries must be made in writing to the designated points of contact, which include the contract specialist and contracting officer, with full contact details provided for communication. This approach ensures compliance with procurement regulations while supporting small business participation and maintaining continuity in essential facility maintenance services.
