Janitorial services

The U.S. Department of State is seeking quotations for comprehensive janitorial services for diplomatic facilities in Italy, including the U.S. Tri-Mission in Rome and Consulates in Milan and Florence, plus the Consular Agency in Genoa. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, equipment, and supplies to perform daily, weekly, monthly, and periodic cleaning tasks across approximately 43,676 square meters of facility space. Key requirements include providing skilled personnel with appropriate English language capabilities (particularly supervisors in Rome and Milan), maintaining security protocols, supplying approved antimicrobial cleaning products, and managing both standard routine cleaning and temporary additional services on short notice. The government will award the contract to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer based on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation criterion. The original proposal deadline was January 12, 2026, but Amendment 0001 extended the deadline to January 16, 2026, at 12:00 noon local time. Pre-quotation conferences were conducted December 12-16, 2025, and questions and answers were posted through January 13, 2026.

There is no set-aside designation for this opportunity. The incumbent contractor is Pellegrini SpA, which held a five-year contract valued at $4,421,098; the new contract involves a reduction in services compared to the current scope. This is a fixed-price contract for a one-year base period with four one-year option periods, potentially extending five years total. The specific service areas include Rome (40,000 square meters), Milan (2,800 square meters), Florence (810 square meters), and Genoa (66 square meters). The contractor must provide services for approximately 90 apartments annually and maintain operational offices in Rome, Milan, and Florence, with the performance location being Italy. Interested contractors must be registered in the SAM.gov database, complete IRS Form W-14 for foreign contracting party tax compliance, and submit comprehensive documentation including past performance references, financial statements, and detailed service plans.
