AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Detroit District is conducting market research through a sources sought notice to identify qualified firms capable of providing janitorial services at the St. Mary’s Falls Canal in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The scope requires consistent maintenance of all facilities to ensure areas are clean, sanitary, and neat, defined as free from dirt and marks, treated with appropriate commercial disinfectants, and arranged in an orderly manner. This is not a solicitation, and no award will result from this notice; it is strictly for gathering market intelligence to inform a future acquisition expected to be released in June 2026. The anticipated contract structure includes a one-year base period with four optional one-year extension periods, totaling up to five years of potential performance. The North American Industrial Classification System code is 561720 for janitorial services, with a small business size standard of $22.0 million in annual receipts, and the Product Service Code is S201 for housekeeping and custodial maintenance. Businesses of all sizes are encouraged to respond, but respondents must clearly indicate their business size and any applicable socioeconomic designations such as small disadvantaged business, veteran-owned, HUBZone, or women-owned small business status in the required questionnaire. Responses must be submitted via email to Joseph Russell and Matthew McDuffie by 2:00 PM Eastern Time on May 20, 2026, using the specified subject line, and must include completed company information, past project examples, bonding capability, and capability statements. No funds are available to cover response preparation, and submission does not obligate the government to issue a solicitation or award a contract. All data provided will be treated as confidential and protected from unauthorized disclosure. The place of performance is exclusively at 312 W. Portage Avenue, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and the government will not supervise contractors directly—contractors are responsible for the performance of their personnel and accountable to the government through the prime contractor. No contract clauses, pricing details, evaluation factors, or special requirements are included at this time, as this document is pre-solicitation. The solicitation number is PANGLR6P0000030853, and potential offerors must monitor SAM.gov for any future Request for Proposal or Invitation for Bid that may follow this market research effort.
