Pest control services - San Dimas National Technology and Development Program

Solicitation 1282A726Q0035 is a Request for Quotation issued by the USDA Forest Service for a comprehensive integrated pest management program at the San Dimas National Technology and Development Program in San Dimas, California. The contract is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 325320 and is structured as a firm-fixed-price requirements contract. The period of performance includes a one-year base period beginning August 28, 2026, with four additional one-year option periods that extend the contract through 2031. The scope of work involves maintaining a pest, mosquito, and rodent-free environment across five buildings, a courtyard, and maintained landscaping. Specific requirements include twice-monthly exterior spraying, monthly sidewalk treatments, monthly bait station maintenance for rodents and ground squirrels, and weekly gopher control in irrigated areas. The award will be determined using a best value tradeoff process, where technical capability is considered more important than price. Evaluation factors include technical qualifications, a detailed quality control plan, and past performance, which serves as a pass/fail gate; an unacceptable rating will disqualify an offeror. Contractors must also comply with specific personal identity verification policies and federal anti-discrimination and DEI compliance mandates. Proposals must be submitted via email to Darlene Chase by the August 25, 2026, deadline and must include three separate attachments: a technical proposal, a price proposal, and contractor representations and certifications. All offerors must maintain an active registration in the System for Award Management to be eligible for award.
