Cassville Janitorial Services

The USDA Forest Service seeks a qualified vendor to provide janitorial services at its Cassville office, with quotations due September 1, 2026, and questions due August 27. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside restricted to concerns with NAICS 561720 and a size standard of 750 employees.

Place of performance is the Mark Twain National Forest facility at 601 State Highway 248 East, Cassville, Missouri 65625. The contractor must provide weekly janitorial cleaning services, preferably on Wednesdays, covering a three-level building totaling approximately 2,285 square feet. Cleaning must occur between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM on weekdays only; the facility is closed weekends and federal holidays and no building key will be issued. The USDA furnishes vacuum equipment, toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, and trash bags; the contractor provides all other cleaning products, supplies, tools, and equipment. Waste disposal uses the on-site dumpster. When cleaning falls on a federal holiday or facility closure, the contractor reschedules with the requiring office.

The performance period runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. Service Contract Labor Standards apply; the minimum wage for janitors is $16.88 per hour. The solicitation incorporates paid sick leave, sustainability, and anti-discrimination and DEI compliance certifications.

Award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis. The Government intends one award but reserves the right to make multiple awards if determined to provide better value after accounting for a $500 administrative cost threshold. Evaluation considers past performance (scored as Acceptable, Neutral, or Unacceptable) and contractor certifications. Invoicing for performance periods exceeding 30 days is authorized monthly upon work acceptance. Quotations must be submitted via email to shannon.warren-davis@usda.gov in three separate files. No option years, incumbent contract information, or historical labor hour data are available.
