The Office of Naval Research awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Rentokil North America, Inc. for greenhouse maintenance services at a facility in Reading, Pennsylvania. The contract, valued at $55,178.40, was awarded on December 1, 2015, with an ultimate completion date of November 30, 2016. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, indicating Rentokil competed in full and open competition. Rentokil North America, Inc., a for-profit pest control and facility maintenance company headquartered in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, has maintained an active federal contractor presence since October 2001 and specializes in integrated pest management, facility maintenance, and environmental services across multiple federal agencies.
This greenhouse maintenance contract aligns with Rentokil's established service portfolio with the Office of Naval Research, which has previously engaged the company for plant maintenance and pest prevention services. The company's extensive federal contracting history demonstrates its capability to deliver specialized facility and environmental services, with prior contract values ranging substantially and no requirement for set-aside protections. The work performed at the Reading, Pennsylvania location would support ONR's facility operations and maintenance requirements.
