JANITORIAL SERVICE - Wilmington, NC

The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is soliciting quotations for janitorial services at its Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) office in Wilmington, North Carolina under RFQ 12639526Q0059. The services consist of weekly janitorial work performed between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday at a 1,800 square-foot facility, including routine cleaning of office areas, restrooms, break rooms, and other spaces, along with quarterly machine brushing and scrubbing of flooring. The contractor must demonstrate the ability to perform all requirements specified in the Statement of Work, with any exceptions potentially rendering the quotation technically unacceptable, and must comply with Service Contract Labor Standards requiring a minimum wage of $16.07 per hour for janitorial service employees. The Government will make award using lowest price technically acceptable evaluation criteria, meaning only the lowest priced offer will initially be evaluated for technical acceptability and past performance; if unacceptable, evaluation will proceed to the next lowest priced offer until an acceptable offer is identified. Questions must be submitted by March 9, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time, and quotations are due by March 11, 2026.

This acquisition is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside with a small business size standard of $22 million, meaning only small business concerns may submit quotations. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed price requirements contract consisting of a one-year base period running through February 28, 2027, followed by four one-year option periods extending through February 28, 2031, with a potential six-month extension available. The specific award value is not disclosed in the solicitation materials, as offerors are responsible for submitting pricing for all line items including the base period, all four option periods, and the potential extension period. Services will be performed at the USDA APHIS PPQ facility located at 1815 Gardner Drive, Wilmington, North Carolina 28405, which requires weekly attention with the Government providing paper products and trash liners while the contractor supplies all cleaning chemicals.
