DOE GTN Cafeteria Deep Cleaning

The Department of Energy Headquarters is soliciting bids for deep cleaning services for cafeteria equipment at their Germantown facility. This procurement falls under NAICS code 561720 for Janitorial Services and PSC code S216 for Housekeeping-Facilities Operations Support, indicating the requirement involves specialized cleaning of food service equipment rather than routine maintenance. The solicitation was posted on June 26, 2025, with proposals due by July 23, 2025, providing vendors with approximately four weeks to prepare and submit their bids. The scope focuses specifically on deep cleaning of cafeteria equipment, suggesting this is likely a periodic maintenance requirement rather than ongoing daily cleaning services. While the notice does not specify detailed evaluation criteria, contractors will need to demonstrate capability in commercial kitchen equipment cleaning and compliance with food service sanitation standards.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to certified small business contractors and providing enhanced opportunities for smaller vendors in the janitorial services sector. The solicitation notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific budget ranges for the anticipated award value. No specific quantities, timelines for service delivery, or performance periods are detailed in the available information, though the Germantown location indicates the place of performance will be at the Department of Energy's facilities in Germantown, Maryland. The specialized nature of cafeteria equipment deep cleaning suggests this may be a one-time intensive cleaning project or part of a scheduled maintenance cycle. Interested small business contractors should prepare proposals that demonstrate experience with commercial food service equipment cleaning and adherence to health department standards.
