About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) clarification for a federal janitorial services solicitation. The file addresses five key inquiries submitted by prospective offerors regarding scope discrepancies and performance requirements.
The requirement consists of two buildings: the Main Office building containing 9,850 square feet and Building 16 containing 1,440 square feet. Annual window cleaning services shall include approximately 81 windows total—67 on the main floor and 14 upper-level windows. Upper-level windows measure approximately 1 foot wide by 10 feet long, while ground floor windows range from 3 feet wide by 3 feet long to 4 feet wide by 8 feet long. Bi-annual deep cleaning services are scheduled for April and August. A site visit is available on September 15 at 10:30 am MST, with Paul Campbell (paul.campbell@usda.gov) serving as the point of contact. This Q&A clarification document resolves conflicting information between the Performance Work Statement (PWS), Schedule of Items, Building 01 drawing, Annual Performance Requirements, and Bi-Annual Cleaning Checklist contained within the solicitation package.
