About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file for a Pest Control Services solicitation for the Stewart Lee Udall Department of the Interior Building. The solicitation (No. 140D0425Q0295) is a small business set-aside for comprehensive pest management services, replacing a previous contract awarded to Alexandria Pest Services, Inc. for $37,744.00. Key details include a 1.3-million gross square foot building with 42 kitchenettes across 7 floors, requiring an integrated pest management approach with weekly service visits based on specific service requests.
The Q&A reveals no prior emergency service calls or specific pest incidents in the past 24 months, though the Performance Work Statement (PWS) anticipates potential pest management needs. The contractor will be responsible for providing and maintaining rodent control equipment, including 11 exterior and 4 interior bait traps, and must use Anticimex SMART Boxes or an approved equivalent. The government will identify specific service areas during weekly visits, with an emphasis on treating problem areas and addressing various potential pest types including rodents, birds, bats, and wood-destroying organisms.
