36C78625Q50069 Questions and Answers

The existing level of cleaning observed was extremely bad. A great deal of effort will be needed to bring the property up to a condition from which ongoing services can be provided. When was the site last cleaned?

Standard cleaning is done daily. Windows cleaned in Dec 2024.

The “up front” cost must be recovered. Would the NCS accept pricing that adds a lump sum to cover this cost?

No, the current solicitation request does not include a “up front” cleaning. Any cost should be included in the overall contract bid.

Due to the 2 site visits on the 2nd and 3rd of January, can 3rd party vendors still bid on this contract with an equal opportunity. Do you have any time for more site visits?

The solicitation is set-aside for SDVOSBs only. There will not be additional site visits than the ones conducted on 1/2/25 and 1/3/25.

Is there a current contract and if so, what is the contract number, incumbent, and awarded amount?

This information is contained in the RFQ description on SAM.gov.

If there is a current contract, has the scope of work changed from the current solicitation?

The previous contract included services for Ft Sam Houston National Cemetery and Houston National Cemetery. The current contract is for Houston National Cemetery only.

Do you have a staff count for the facility?

The restrooms are used by staff and visitors. Approximately 250 total (staff and visitors) daily.
