The United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) is seeking a janitorial services contractor for its Palm Bay Work Unit facility located in Orlando, Florida. The agency intends to issue a firm fixed-price service contract with a comprehensive scope of cleaning and maintenance responsibilities. The procurement will be conducted through a formal Request for Quotation (RFQ) solicitation, with the full details to be published at a later date. While specific evaluation criteria are not yet detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, interested contractors should prepare for a competitive bidding process focused on the NAICS 561720 Janitorial Services classification. The key dates for this opportunity include a pre-solicitation posting on December 3, 2024, with responses due by December 20, 2024, indicating a relatively short window for potential contractors to prepare their submissions.

The contract opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, which means only small businesses can compete for this contract. The period of performance is structured to span five years, consisting of one base year and four option years, specifically from February 1, 2025, to January 31, 2030. While the precise contract value is not specified in the pre-solicitation notice, contractors should be prepared to provide comprehensive janitorial services for the USDA APHIS PPQ facility. The procurement will be managed through the Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services division, which suggests a structured and professional acquisition process. Potential bidders should carefully review the forthcoming RFQ for detailed requirements, scope of work, and specific performance expectations to ensure their proposal meets the agency's precise needs.
