S--OR KLAMATH FALLS FWO Grounds Maintenance Services

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, under the Department of the Interior, is seeking small business contractors to provide grounds maintenance services at the Klamath Falls Fish and Wildlife Office in Oregon. The contract, solicited under number 140FS126Q0126 and posted on July 14, 2026, with a response deadline of July 16, 2026, is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 561730 and will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price commercial purchase under FAR Part 12. The scope includes bi-weekly seasonal grounds maintenance, targeted weed control during spring and summer, and comprehensive spring and fall yard clean-ups, with all labor, equipment, and materials supplied by the contractor. Performance is scheduled to begin on August 1, 2026, and the contract includes up to four option years extending through June 14, 2032, with each option requiring separate government approval. The place of performance is fixed at 1936 California Avenue, Klamath Falls, OR, and all work is subject to inspection and acceptance on-site by the government’s Technical Coordinator, with a Quality Surveillance Plan requiring 95% inspection coverage and correction of deficiencies within 48 hours. Contractors must comply with the Service Contract Act, federal environmental regulations regarding herbicide use, OSHA standards, and Executive Order 13706 on paid sick leave. Pricing is to be submitted by offerors, with no estimated value provided. Evaluation factors emphasize technical experience, approach, management plan, and past performance—all collectively more important than price—and the award will be based on a trade-off analysis, not lowest price technically acceptable. All proposals must be submitted electronically by email to the designated point of contact, including the SF 1449, SAM.gov UEI, and three past performance references in a single PDF. Contractors must register in the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) for payment, identify all key personnel and subcontractors, and submit detailed employee lists for site access authorization. Compliance with clauses on whistleblower rights, subcontractor restrictions, prohibitions on confidentiality agreements, and DEI discrimination is mandatory, and failure to provide a valid UEI will render a response unresponsive.
