Intent to Sole Source Notice

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center has issued an Intent to Sole Source Notice for landscaping services at Meridian Hill Park in Washington, DC. This special notice was posted on January 29, 2026, and represents the government's intention to procure services on a non-competitive basis from TCG Property Care, a HUBZone-certified firm. The Interior Business Center is seeking to award a firm-fixed-price contract for preservation-sensitive landscape maintenance, stabilization, and rehabilitation work. The statutory authority for this non-competitive action is found under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.103-5, citing 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(5). This notice allows interested parties an opportunity to respond before the government proceeds with the sole source award.

The landscaping services contract encompasses comprehensive site maintenance and restoration work at Meridian Hill Park and Rock Creek Park, with performance requirements aligned to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties and National Park Service policies. Interested parties must submit questions or responses to Contracting Officer Elsa Aguon by February 4, 2026, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, with all response costs borne by the respondent. The scope of work includes 14 base contract line items and 2 optional items covering activities such as landscape cleaning, historic concrete restoration, drainage maintenance, tree training and pruning, turf restoration, and historic feature preservation. While this notice targets HUBZone small businesses, the government reserves the right to determine whether to conduct a competitive acquisition and may issue a Request for Quote based on responses received. The Performance Work Statement included with this notice details specific operational constraints, including remote parking requirements and compliance with pollution prevention protocols.
