6. The PWS states that the prime contractor shall attend the post-award pre-work meeting in person. If awarded, may an authorized representative of the prime contractor attend on behalf of the company, or must the company owner attend personally?

A person who works directly for the prime contractor must be present for both meetings. A subcontractor – even if “authorized by the prime” can NOT attend in leu of a person from the Prime Contractor. This prime contractor person doesn’t need to be the company owner.

7. Is a small business prime contractor permitted to utilize a local small business janitorial subcontractor for on-site performance, provided the contractor complies with FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting?

The prime contractor must comply with all requirements of the contract. They may use small business subcontractors, but the responsibility of meeting the requirements rests with the prime. Prime contractor must comply with the limitations on subcontracting listed in clause 52.219-14.

8. CLIN 0001 is labeled "Daily" service at 208 hours/year, but the PWS describes Tuesday & Friday service. Could you clarify the correct frequency?

Tuesday & Friday or 2 nonconsecutive days per week

9. Does the janitorial scope require one wage classification (Janitor), or should tasks like window cleaning and floor waxing be priced under diƯerent classifications from the wage determination?

Please use best business practices and the SCA wage rates attached to discern this information. Generally a Janitor classification would apply to all the work, but note that there are levels to most classifications, i.e. Janitor 1, Janitor 2, and so on.

10. Is there anything else new oƯerors commonly get wrong on quotes like this that we should watch for?

Please review the solicitation carefully and follow all instructions.

11. The CLINs are structured by labor hours (e.g., 208 hours for daily service). Are these hours intended as a firm fixed quantity for the year, or will the contractor be paid based on actual hours worked and recorded?

Contractor will be paid based on actual hours worked up to the quantity shown in the CLIN. The contractor will not be compensated for work beyond the quantities shown in the CLINs.

12. The PWS indicates the contractor shall furnish all supplies. Can the government confirm if there is a designated on-site storage area for the contractor's cleaning equipment and bulk supplies?

Yes, storage closet on site

13. Can the government confirm the exact place of performance is 6505 South Manthey Rd, French Camp, CA 95231?

Yes. This is the correct address of the place of performance.

14. CLIN 3001 (Option Year 3, Janitorial Service - Daily) is listed at 36 hours, while the corresponding daily service CLIN in the base year and all other option years (0001, 1001, 2001, and 4001) are listed at 208 hours. Please confirm whether 36 hours for CLIN 3001 is intentional or should instead read 208 hours, consistent with the other performance periods.

Your findings are correct. CLINs 0001,1001,2001,3001 and 4001 should have line item quanties of 208 hours. This change will be made in a forthcoming amendment.

15. The solicitation does not appear to state a deadline for the submission of questions.

Please confirm the cutoƯ date and time for questions so we can ensure any further clarifications are submitted in time to be addressed before the oƯer due date of 11 August 2026.

Please see description box of SAM.gov post for oƯer due date and other details.

The solicitation incorporates FAR 52.212-1 (Instructions to OƯerors) by reference, but we did not find explicit instructions specifying the method of submission (e.g., email, portal), required attachments/format, or a designated point of contact for quote delivery. Could you please confirm how and to whom quotes should be submitted and whether any specific format or attachments are required?

Please submit quotes to myself and Raymond Greenheck, directly via email Jessica.Padilla@usace.army.mil and Raymond.R.Greenheck@usace.army.mil
