Janitorial services at hbbs

The U.S. Department of Interior's U.S. Geological Survey is soliciting janitorial services for the Hammond Bay Biological Station (HBBS) located in Millersburg, Michigan. The Request for Quote (RFQ) seeks a contractor to provide cleaning services for three distinct buildings: a wet lab, an office building, and a sterilization building, with varying service frequencies depending on the season. The solicitation (140G0225Q0034) will result in a firm-fixed-price contract, with award determined by the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer where non-price factors will be weighted more heavily than price. Potential contractors must submit their proposals by March 20, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST, with any questions due by March 17, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST to the designated contracting officer, Stephanie Doutt. Contractors will be required to perform services after normal business hours (8:00 AM - 4:30 PM) and adhere to specific cleaning schedules for each building.

The contract is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 561720 for Janitorial Services, with a base performance period from June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026. The contract includes four potential one-year option periods and a six-month extension option, potentially extending services through November 30, 2030. Cleaning frequency will vary by building, with the wet lab requiring service three days per week during April-September and twice weekly during October-March, the office building needing weekly cleaning year-round, and the sterilization building requiring weekly cleaning only during April-September. Wage rates will be governed by the attached Department of Labor Wage Determination (No. 2015-4873), which mandates minimum wages and specifies various benefit requirements for workers. The detailed floor plans provided with the solicitation outline the specific spaces to be serviced, including precise measurements and layouts of the wet lab, office buildings, and sterilization building.
