AI Contract Overview
This solicitation seeks non-personal landscape services for the National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office in Charleston, SC, under a total small business set-aside for NAICS code 561730 with a size standard of $9.5 million. The contract is structured as a single firm fixed-price purchase order awarded on an all-or-none basis with Net 30 payment terms, using a tradeoff evaluation process where non-price factors — technical approach, experience, and certifications for pesticide/herbicide applicators — are of equal importance and collectively more significant than price. The base period runs from the award date through May 31, 2027, with four optional one-year periods extending through May 31, 2031. Work involves weekly services from March 1 to October 31 and monthly services from November 1 to February 28, covering all aspects of grounds maintenance including mowing, edging, pruning, weeding, mulching, erosion control, insect/mole management, and sprinkler system winterization across a five-acre site. The contractor must provide all labor, equipment, materials, and supervision, adhering to performance-based standards that require healthy vegetation and a professional appearance. All personnel applying chemicals must hold current state certifications, and a comprehensive Quality Control Plan must be maintained on-site, including inspection protocols, employee deficiency notification systems, complaint tracking, and corrective action documentation. Wage determinations from WD 2015-4427 Revision 33 apply, and the contractor must comply with numerous FAR clauses covering labor standards, child labor, equal opportunity, workers with disabilities, hazardous materials, biobased product reporting, combating trafficking, and whistleblower protections, many under deviations effective January 2026. Submission of quotes is mandatory via email to kirsten.keen@noaa.gov by 10:00 a.m. MDT on June 8, 2026, in PDF or Word format, with all required documentation including SAM registration status, UEI, CAGE code, SF18, SF30s, and pesticide certifications. A site visit is highly recommended but not required, and failure to inspect the premises will not justify claims post-award. Quoters must be currently registered and active in SAM.gov to be eligible, and the government will not consider SAM representations not explicitly required by this solicitation. Performance is accepted at the Charleston, SC site by the Contracting Officer or authorized representative, with payment processed
