About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Region 6–Pacific Northwest Region, seeks janitorial services for its Bent Creek Experimental Forest in Asheville, North Carolina, with quotations due October 26, 2026. The procurement is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 561720 with a $22.0 million size standard.
Place of performance is 1577 Brevard Road, Asheville, NC 28806. The contract covers janitorial services across seven buildings totaling approximately 12,337 to 13,571 square feet, with a firm-fixed-price base period of 12 months beginning November 15, 2026, plus four optional 12-month periods through November 14, 2031.
Scope includes weekly basic cleaning (Fridays), monthly deep cleaning of office buildings (Monday–Friday, 0800–1630 hours upon COR coordination), annual window and exterior glass cleaning of all facilities, and one annual deep-cleaning event with material-specific methods (vinyl may be stripped or waxed; wood and concrete shall not be waxed or chemically stripped; ceramic tile shall not be waxed). Contractors must provide all supplies, consumables, and trash liners. Emergency cleaning and any second deep-cleaning event are separately ordered via bilateral modification. Service Contract Labor Standards wage rates apply under wage determination WD 2015-4369 Rev 32, with WG-2 Custodial Workers at $23.63 per hour. Background investigations (Tier 1) begin after award; escorted access is permitted during processing.
Evaluation criteria include technical approach (addressing PWS requirements, key personnel qualifications, biobased product compliance, and quality control procedures), price fairness and reasonableness, and past performance (minimum three years of relevant janitorial experience required; subcontractors' experience may satisfy the requirement if clearly identified). Acceptable performance is defined as 95% compliance; performance will be rated Satisfactory, Very Good, or Exceptional. Payment will be deducted for documented deficiencies, with rework required within 24 hours at no cost to the Government. A mandatory site visit occurs Friday, October 23, 2026, at 1:00 PM, led by Katie Greenberg. Amendment 0002, issued October 23, replaced building diagrams and established the pricing schedule template. This is a new requirement, not a recompete.
