About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency (FSA), operating through the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center, has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a sole source Blanket Purchase Agreement to Lorain Soil and Water Conservation District in Elyria, Ohio. This notice pertains to janitorial, mowing, and snow removal services for the SWCD leased office building where FSA occupies space. The agency has determined that Lorain SWCD is the only responsible source capable of fulfilling these requirements. This is not a competitive solicitation or request for proposals, and no solicitation package is available. The services fall under NAICS code 561720 (Janitorial Services) with a size standard of $22 million and PSC code S201 for housekeeping and custodial services.
The sole source determination stems from the unique circumstance that FSA leases space within the Lorain SWCD office building, and SWCD policy restricts these maintenance services to contractors already under current agreement for their facility. The procurement will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13.106-1(b) for purchases not exceeding the $250,000 simplified acquisition threshold. Any responses to this notice must be submitted by August 11, 2025, and must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. The government reserves sole discretion in determining whether to compete this procurement based on any responses received. Interested parties should contact Hannah Ward at hannah.ward@usda.gov and reference the Notice of Intent number in all correspondence, though no reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with submitting capability information.
