Landscape improvement project

Market Research performed by the Acquisition Team recommends procuring this project via a Sole Source
8(a) Small Business Set-Aside using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code
561730 Landscaping Services (PSC) S208 Housekeeping-Landscaping/Groundskeeping. This NAICS is
appropriate because it includes services to support grounds improvement within the facility and the
maintenance of lawn areas and irrigation system, required to maintain a clean, safe, and orderly
jobsite. Prior to considering Sole Source 8(a) as the contracting method, the Acquisition Team looked
at the Multiple Award Construction Contracts (MACC) and Basic Ordering Agreements (BOA). However, none
of those vehicles had the capacity to accommodate this project. Therefore, the Acquisition Team
decided to utilize an 8(a) sole source acquisition pursuant to FAR 6.302-5 (b)(4), FAR 19.800 (d) and
19.203 (b). Research of all local 8(a) Small Businesses that meet the requirements outlined in the FAR
19.101 has been conducted. There are 17 contractors in the local area that match the NAICS Code query.
We arrived at Excellence Professional Cleaning Inc. (CAGE: 813R4) who, upon further scrutiny, had no
exclusions in the SAMs, good CPARS, conducted the work themselves (did not subcontract the work), and
has successfully completed previous contracts. This contractor has been pre-qualified and has the
necessary experience to complete the requirements of the Scope of Work (SOW). Moreover, in accordance
with FAR 9.104, the vendor is responsible and is deemed qualified and is eligible to receive an award
under applicable laws and regulations. The Acquisition Team will ensure to conduct proper negotiations
as outlined under FAR 15.101 to award the project at a fair market price.

Awarded contract N6247320P0015 to EXCELLENCE PROFESSIONAL CLEANING INC for 80408.09 on 2020-10-22.
