Lawn Care Services Presolicitation Notice

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center has issued a Presolicitation Notice for commercial grounds maintenance services at the Southern Plains Indian Museum located in Anadarko, Oklahoma. This notice announces the government's intent to procure routine lawn and grounds maintenance services covering approximately 3.2 acres of property. The contract will be awarded as a Firm-Fixed-Price agreement with an estimated value below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The scope of work includes weekly, monthly, and seasonal mowing, trimming, edging, debris removal, weed treatment, aeration, and fertilization services. The anticipated period of performance is April 2026 through March 31, 2027, with possible option periods extending up to five years total. The point of contact for this opportunity is Catherine Mattocks, Contracting Officer, at catherine_mattocks@ibc.doi.gov.

This presolicitation notice is issued to inform potential contractors of the government's upcoming procurement and does not obligate the government to issue a solicitation or make an award. The solicitation is expected to be issued in March 2026 and will be provided via email to selected vendors only; all responsible sources are permitted to submit quotations. This is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and PSC S208 (Housekeeping/Groundskeeping Services), meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete. The government intends to solicit quotes from a limited number of sources under FAR 13.104 as an efficient commercial practice, and award is anticipated in April 2026. Contractors interested in pursuing this opportunity should monitor email communications from the Interior Business Center or contact the contracting officer directly for additional details and to express interest in receiving the solicitation when issued.
