The Contractor shall furnish all labor, supervision, management, tools, materials, equipment, transportation, incidental engineering, and other certified, trained personnel to provide the necessary skills to perform Pest Control Services on-site during normal working hours.

This is a small business set-aside and the offeror must be a Small Business. Therefore, due to the set-aside nature of this solicitation, and to ensure qualified offerors have the best opportunity to compete, joint ventures and teaming arrangements will not be allowed to compete.

The Government anticipates awarding a combination Firm-Fixed Price (FFP), Non-recurring type contract with a base period of one (1) year plus four (4) twelve-month option periods, to be exercised at the discretion of the Government. The total term of the contract, if all options are exercised, will be for 60 months. The Contractor may be required to continue performance for an additional period not to exceed six (6) months under FAR clause 52.217-8, “Option to Extend Services”. In either case, the Government will not synopsize the options when exercised.

The Government intends to use FAR 15.101-2 Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) and FAR 15.305(a) (2) Proposal evaluation procedures. The policies of FAR 3.6 – Contracts with Government Employees or Organizations Owned or Controlled by them applies to all solicitation. The solicitation utilizes source selection procedures, which require offerors to submit information such as corporate experience, technical capability, price, (or cost), and past performance data in their proposal for evaluation by the Government.

The resultant contract will replace a FFP contract for services awarded 17 March 2023, that originally planned to stand for a base period of (1) year and for (4) option years. However, due to scope changes of the major client, the performance could not be met under this contract. The second option was exercised for only three months, allowing the Government the opportunity to re-resolicit the de-scope services and obtain a contractor to meet the needs of the remaining services. The present contract final period will expire 16 June 2024. The total estimated cost of that contract is $2,160,830.05, which does not include non-recurring services.

The solicitation will be available after 22 April 2024. The estimated date for receipt of proposals is 30 days after the solicitation issue date. The Government has the sole rights to cancel this announcement at any given time. This solicitation will be available in electronic format only.
