Purchase Order W911SA24P3019

The U.S. Army Reserve Command (Defense) awarded a $164,298 firm fixed-price purchase order to Shield Services LLC, a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business based in Princeton, Minnesota, for snow removal services at the Army Reserve Center in Bloomington, Illinois. The contract was awarded on January 8, 2024, as a total small business set-aside under the Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command. Shield Services will provide comprehensive winter weather mitigation services including snow plowing, salting and sanding operations, and sidewalk snow removal across roadways, parking lots, loading docks, and sidewalks at the facility.

The base year contract, with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2028, represents a single delivery order issued under the solicitation W911SA24Q3017, which originally contemplated a one-year base period with four one-year options and a six-month extension. Shield Services' selection reflects its extensive experience providing snow and ice removal services to Army Reserve facilities across the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions, where the company maintains multiple Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contracts for similar facilities maintenance requirements. The contractor's established capabilities in winter weather mitigation and facilities management directly support the Army Reserve Command's operational readiness objectives.
