USDA Forest Service is soliciting janitorial and custodial services for the Eleven Point Ranger Station on the Mark Twain National Forest in Doniphan, Missouri, under Request for Quotation 12444527Q0007, with questions due November 4, 2026 at 4:00 PM EST and quotations due November 9, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST. The acquisition is a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS 561720 (PSC S201), with a $22.0 million size standard stated in the RFQ.

The period of performance is a base year from November 15, 2026 through November 14, 2027, followed by four one-year options through November 14, 2031, awarded as a firm-fixed price purchase order. Award uses Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation on a pass/fail basis, applied price-first: the Government evaluates the lowest-priced quotation for technical capability and past performance and moves to the next-lowest only if that quotation is rejected. Quotes must price the base year and each option year separately, and incomplete pricing is deemed unresponsive. Prices must remain firm for 90 calendar days. Past performance must cover similar janitorial or custodial services within the past three years, with neutral ratings accepted for offerors without relevant experience. Attachment E, the Experience Questionnaire (FS-6300-27), requires three-year project history, concurrent commitments, equipment inventory, and key personnel.

Work covers approximately 10,000 square feet across two floors (main floor and basement) at 66 Confederate Ridge Road, Doniphan, Missouri 63935. Services run Tuesdays and Fridays starting after 4:30 PM. Cleaning missed for holiday or inclement-weather closures must be made up on the first duty day before or after the closure, and cancellation is not permitted. The contractor furnishes all labor, materials, tools, commercial-grade equipment, cleaning chemicals, permits, transportation, and insurance. The Government furnishes only toilet paper, paper towels, plastic trash bags, and liquid hand soap. Products must meet USDA Designated Biobased Products List criteria whenever practicable, and the contractor must obtain COR approval of its product list before work begins. The contractor must maintain a Quality Control Plan and submit a Contractor's Emergency Plan within five days of award.

Under the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan, performance tolerances are no more than three periodic inspection defects or two validated customer complaints per month for basic cleaning, two defects or complaints for restroom and lunchroom services, and one for periodic services.

Service Contract Act Wage Determination 2015-5101 (Revision 31) for Ripley County, Missouri sets the janitor rate at $15.90 per hour plus $5.92 per hour in fringe benefits, or $5.42 per hour where Executive Order 13706 applies.
