S--WA-FWS SPRING CRK NFH-JANITORIAL SERVICE

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, under the Department of the Interior, awarded a firm-fixed price contract for janitorial services at the Little White Salmon National Fish Hatchery in Cook, Washington, with a base period from April 16, 2026, through April 15, 2027, and four optional one-year extension periods through April 14, 2031. This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 561720, exclusively for small business concerns including WOSB, EDWOSB, and 8(a) participants, and requires offerors to maintain an active SAM.gov registration with a valid Unique Entity ID. The contract mandates compliance with the Service Contract Labor Standards, EPA’s SNAP program and Green Procurement Compilation for environmentally sustainable cleaning practices, and specific federal requirements regarding waste reduction, sustainable materials, and prohibited products such as those from Kaspersky Lab, ByteDance, and certain unmanned aircraft systems. All services—including routine cleaning of kitchen and break rooms, dusting, vacuuming, and supply replenishment—are to be performed by the contractor using their own labor, equipment, and supplies, while the government provides paper products and hand soap. Performance is subject to inspection and acceptance at the hatchery site by the Technical Coordinator or designated representative, based on conformance to contract requirements and environmental standards. Proposals were submitted electronically via email by March 27, 2026, following FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures for commercial items, with evaluation based on a trade-off methodology considering price, technical capability, past performance, and relevant experience—excluding contractors with a prior T4Default. Payment is required through the Department of the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, not WAWF, and contractors must adhere to clauses mandating accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, whistleblower protections, ethical conduct, and reporting of executive compensation and first-tier subcontract awards. The contract includes provisions for extending service terms and increased quantities, along with compliance obligations related to labor wage determinations, equal opportunity for veterans, and prohibitions on trafficking in persons and use of covered foreign-supplied hardware or software. No contract value is specified publicly, as all pricing fields remain undetermined, and there is no designated Contracting Officer’s Representative or Contracting Officer Technical Representative listed, with primary point of contact being Tanner Frank of the FWS SAT Team 1.
