USAGM Janitorial Service, Kuwait Transmitting Station

This solicitation, numbered 951700-26-R-0008, seeks offers for firm-fixed-price janitorial services at the George A. Moore Jr. Kuwait Transmitting Station located in Umm Al-Rimam, Kuwait, under FAR Part 13 procedures for commercial services. Proposals must be submitted electronically by 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 10, 2026, to designated points of contact at the U.S. Agency for Global Media, with no hard copies or fax submissions allowed. The contract includes a base performance period of one year beginning September 1, 2026, with four optional one-year extension years through August 31, 2031, each containing services for standard janitorial tasks and an additional not-to-exceed $7,500 annually for emergency or unscheduled cleaning, authorized only by the Contracting Officer’s Representative. All work must be performed on-site with no government-furnished property, and the contractor is responsible for providing all labor, tools, equipment, consumables, and transportation necessary to maintain the facility to high cleanliness and safety standards, in compliance with OSHA and local laws. The offeror must be registered in SAM.gov, possess a valid UEI and CAGE code, and comply with all FAR representations and certifications, including cybersecurity requirements and prohibitions on certain telecommunications and software products. Evaluation will be based on a trade-off approach where non-price factors — technical acceptability and past performance — are significantly more important than price. Proposals must be technically acceptable in areas including supervisor qualifications, staff experience, management plans, licensing, and equipment provision, and must include a technical proposal limited to 31 pages with strict formatting rules, as well as a separate business proposal. Past performance will be assessed using adjectival ratings based on similar prior contracts, with no performance history resulting in a neutral rating. Price will be evaluated for reasonableness through market comparison, but the lowest price will not automatically yield award. All contracts require electronic invoicing through the Invoice Payment Platform (IPP), mandatory insurance coverage with the U.S. Government named as an additional insured, and submission of compliance documents within 10 days of award, including insurance certificates, personnel lists, and licenses. The government retains full authority to inspect and accept services at the delivery location, with performance monitored through a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan that ties acceptance to customer satisfaction, timeliness, safety, and material usage
