S--GUA QUARTERS CLEANING SERVICES

The contract awards janitorial and custodial services for the USGS Guam Magnetic Observatory, a sensitive scientific facility located in Dededo, Guam, encompassing two Quarters buildings and several ancillary structures including the Shop/Garage, Variations, Absolutes, and Office Buildings. The contract is a firm-fixed-price agreement with a base period from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027, and includes four optional one-year extension periods through March 31, 2031, plus a six-month extension for Cleaning Quarters 2 ending September 30, 2031. Performance is strictly tied to the site, with all work conducted on-site and governed by a detailed Quality Assurance Plan and General Quality Standards requiring the absence of visible dust, dirt, mold, mildew, or standing water, and adherence to OSHA, EPA, CDC, and Guam territorial regulations. The contract mandates compliance with a range of federal regulations including Service Contract Labor Standards, Fair Labor Standards Act, Buy American provisions, and prohibitions on Kaspersky, ByteDance, and other restricted technology providers, with special emphasis on preventing magnetic contamination by strictly banning ferrous materials east of the Office building to protect critical scientific data. The solicitation is a small business set-aside, requiring offerors to demonstrate capability through a two-page narrative and provide two recent customer references within five years evaluating quality, timeliness, and business relations, with past performance weighted twice as heavily as technical performance, and price considered subordinate to non-cost factors in a trade-off evaluation process.

Electronic compliance is further enforced through mandatory representations regarding Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, and supply chain security under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act, and contractors are obligated to report any delays immediately.
