This solicitation, numbered 127EAY26Q0064, is a final combined synopsis and request for proposal issued under FAR Part 12 for commercial janitorial and routine maintenance services at three Inyo National Forest locations: the White Mountain Ranger Station & Visitor Center in Bishop, CA, the Mount Whitney Ranger Station Administrative Site, and the Mt. Whitney Eastern Sierra Visitor Center in Lone Pine, CA. The acquisition is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 561720 with a size standard of $22 million, and only responsible small business concerns may submit offers. The contract period runs from July 6, 2026, through May 31, 2031, with a base period from June 1, 2026, to April 30, 2027, and multiple option years extending through Option Year 4. Performance is seasonal, with services at the White Mountain Ranger Station provided two days per week (Mondays and Thursdays) from May through October and one day per week (Mondays) from November through April; the other two sites require services one day per week (Mondays) year-round, all occurring between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. A mandatory site visit was held on May 26, 2026, at the Eastern Sierra Visitor Center, and offerors are warned that failure to inspect the site precludes any post-award claims. Proposals were due June 4, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. PDT, with no further questions accepted after a final Q&A posted on June 4. The evaluation process follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, where proposals must meet minimum technical and past performance thresholds to be considered. Technical acceptability requires a sound approach that fully addresses all requirements in Section C.7 of the Performance Work Statement, including a detailed Quality Control Program with inspection plans, corrective action systems, and customer complaint monitoring, as well as estimated hours per visit. Past performance must be rated acceptable or neutral and requires submission of five relevant contracts completed within the past five years using Attachment 5, along with consent letters from teaming partners and critical subcontractors performing 20% or more of the work. All pricing must include base period and all option years. Payment is made monthly via the Treasury’s IPP
