Janitorial Services, Newport Ranger Station

This contract solicits janitorial services for the USDA Forest Service’s Newport Ranger Station in Newport, Washington, under a total small business set-aside (FAR 19.5) using NAICS code 561720. The requirement is for a firm-fixed-price contract with a base period from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, and up to four option years extending through June 30, 2031, totaling a potential five-year performance period. Services include biweekly basic janitorial and restroom cleaning, semi-annual cleaning of windows and floors, and annual deep cleaning of carpets, covering approximately 6,499 square feet of facility space, predominantly carpeted. All work must meet a performance standard of at least 95% compliance or no more than two valid customer complaints per month, with corrective actions required within 24 hours for deficiencies. A Quality Control Plan and the names of a Contract Manager and Quality Control Representative must be submitted with the quotation, and all personnel must comply with OSHA regulations for biohazard handling. The Contracting Officer’s Representative will conduct visual inspections and surveillance through random sampling and customer complaints to ensure adherence to standards before payment, which is processed via the Invoice Processing Platform at www.ipp.gov upon acceptance of services. Offerors must submit a single PDF proposal containing the SF-1449 form with completed blocks, amendments, and a pricing schedule covering all option years; failure to include pricing for all years renders the offer non-responsive. Contractors must have an active SAM registration and are prohibited from submitting supplemental materials like capability statements or letters of recommendation. Key personnel must be available during federal working hours and on-call within one hour after hours, and all staff must adhere to federal security protocols, including submission of a Person Model within ten business days of award. The contract incorporates numerous FAR clauses addressing labor standards, anti-discrimination, whistleblower rights, trafficking prevention, electronic payments, government property, and DEI compliance, including the newly issued 452.203-71 and 52.222-90 clauses requiring adherence to federal anti-discrimination laws and rejecting DEI initiatives that conflict with equal protection principles. Site inspection is strongly encouraged, and failure to do so waives any post-award claims.
