The contract provides for professional janitorial services at the Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge in Albuquerque, New Mexico, covering a visitor center and administrative office building totaling approximately 8,958 square feet and a separate classroom building of about 1,107 square feet. Services must be performed twice weekly, with additional weekly, monthly, quarterly, and as-needed tasks, all scheduled between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Mountain Time, primarily on Mondays and another coordinated day. The contractor is responsible for supplying all personnel, supervision, transportation, cleaning products, and equipment, while the government furnishes paper products, soap, sanitizer, and trash liners. A detailed log documenting completed tasks, inventory levels, and schedule deviations must be maintained and submitted. The contract has a one-year base period beginning June 15, 2026, with four one-year options extending through June 14, 2031. Performance is governed by commercial industry standards, with monthly inspections conducted by a Technical Coordinator to ensure compliance; nonconforming work may result in reperformance at no added cost or equitable price reduction, and repeated failures may lead to contract termination. The acquisition is set aside exclusively for small business, hub zone, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), and the contract incorporates a comprehensive set of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses with multiple deviations effective in 2026, including provisions for sustainable products, DEI discrimination protections, whistleblower rights, prohibited confidentiality agreements, and labor standards under Executive Orders 13706 and 14026. Payment must be submitted electronically via the Department of Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), with invoices requiring PDF attachments, itemized breakdowns for lump sums, and clear designation as “FINAL” when concluding. The contractor must validate all representations in SAM, comply with prompt payment regulations, and adhere to strict safety protocols, including daily inspections for hazards and immediate correction of unsafe conditions, with failure to comply potentially leading to termination and liability for damages. The government evaluates proposals based on technical conformance to the scope of work, past performance in similar settings, and price, with conformance to specifications given priority over lowest cost. All offers must be valid for 60 days, include required certifications, and acknowledge full agreement with solicitation terms, with site visits encouraged and coordinated through the refuge’s designated contact.
