Janitorial Services - USCG Base New Orleans

The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified vendors capable of providing comprehensive janitorial services at USCG Base New Orleans in Louisiana. This RFI, identified by solicitation number 70Z08426QAA850700, is not a solicitation for proposals and does not obligate the government to award a contract or reimburse any costs incurred by respondents. Responses are voluntary and must be submitted via email to Vince Zentner or Luis Torres no later than May 29, 2026. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 561720 applies to this requirement, and the acquisition is designated as a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, indicating the government intends to award any resulting contract exclusively to small businesses. Interested parties are asked to provide basic organizational details including name, address, contact information, ownership structure, and any applicable socio-economic certifications such as 8(a), HUBZone, or RSA status to assist in market analysis. The anticipated contract, if awarded, will cover a five-year period from September 16, 2026, through September 15, 2031, with performance occurring entirely at the New Orleans base. Contractors must supply all personnel, equipment, and materials to perform routine and emergency cleaning services in accordance with a detailed Performance Work Statement. Key requirements include strict adherence to safety protocols, use of nitrile gloves and color-coded cleaning tools, compliance with federal and state regulations, and submission of a Quality Control Plan, Safety Plan, Staffing Plan, and Material Safety Data Sheets prior to contract start. All personnel must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, with no access to confidential materials or government equipment unless expressly authorized. Site supervisors must be present at all times during work hours, and employees are prohibited from using government telephones, opening cabinets, or possessing keys. While no contract value or pricing information is available, the government will conduct on-site inspections using a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan based on the submitted Quality Control Plan, with final acceptance determined by the Contracting Officer’s Representative. No formal evaluation criteria, award basis, or invoice submission protocols are detailed at this stage, as the RFI remains in the pre-solicitation market research phase.
