About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS) is soliciting quotations for landscaping services through Request for Quotation (RFQ) 1232SA26Q0254, posted February 27, 2026, with a submission deadline of March 17, 2026. The contract requires comprehensive landscaping maintenance at the Invasive Plant Research Lab in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, including mowing approximately 50,000 square feet weekly, edging and trimming approximately 5,000 linear feet, pruning approximately 3,000 linear feet of bushes and trees, hand weeding, and applying approved herbicides to designated areas. The government will provide all tools, equipment, personal protective equipment, and supplies, while the contractor must furnish all personnel, supervision, and routine equipment maintenance. The evaluation methodology employs a lowest price technically acceptable approach, with only the lowest-priced quotation initially evaluated for technical acceptability and past performance, which will be rated as acceptable, neutral, or unacceptable based on documented contract performance history and CPARS ratings within the past three years. Questions and answers submissions closed on March 16, 2026, and prospective contractors were required to attend a mandatory site visit on March 12, 2026, between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM Eastern Time, presenting a valid REAL ID for entry.
This acquisition is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside with a small business size standard of $9.5 million under NAICS code 561730. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price purchase order with a one-year base period (April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027) plus four optional one-year renewal periods, for a potential five-year contract duration. Quotations must include pricing for all contract line items covering the complete contract period, with monthly invoicing submitted in arrears through the Department of Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform and F.O.B. destination as the shipping term. The contractor must comply with Service Contract Act wage determination requirements for Broward County, Florida, maintain workers' compensation insurance with employer's liability of at least $100,000, general liability of at least $500,000 per occurrence, and automobile liability of at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence, and ensure all on-site personnel obtain USDA Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards. Services will be performed at the USDA ARS Invasive Plant Research Lab, 3225 College Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33314, during regular business hours (7:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday), with performance evaluated through weekly random inspections by the government technical monitor against a minimum 85% rolling three-month performance standard.
