The previous contract was W913E520C0016 for CRREL Grounds Maintenance Services, which had a total contract value of $897,107.14 including base and all option periods.

Specific operational requirements such as snowfall trigger depths, response time requirements for snow events, salt or sand application requirements, equipment storage policies, and safety or security requirements for on-site personnel are referenced in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) Sections 1.2, 1.4, and 3, with contractors directed to review these sections for detailed specifications.
