About this file
This document provides answers to vendor questions regarding a federal landscaping services solicitation. The solicitation is for landscaping services at two FAA locations in Florida, with an incumbent monthly cost of $7,661.65 under the current contract. Subcontracts over $150,000 must be reported. While autonomous equipment could be used if overseen by humans, additional research is needed on autonomous frequencies' effect on FAA operations, so robotic services are not acceptable. Both 8(a) and non-8(a) vendors may submit proposals, with award evaluation tiers specified in the solicitation. An aerial photo and revised statement of work have been added to the solicitation via amendment, along with an attachment outlining service frequencies.
