Key contract requirements include the use of biobased, non-toxic, or Green Seal certified cleaning products in compliance with federal sustainability mandates; compliance with Service Contract Act wage determination standards (minimum $22.56 per hour for janitor classification); and adherence to strict quality standards allowing a maximum of five defects per yearly cleaning, with 25 percent payment deductions for non-compliance and 100 percent payment withholding for schedule failures. Awards will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror based on evaluation of price, quality control plan, and past performance.

This solicitation is set aside exclusively for small business concerns with a size standard of $22 million under NAICS code 561720 (Janitorial Services). The incumbent contractor is M&M Solutions under contract number 1284LM22P0053. The contract structure consists of a firm fixed-price award with a one-year base period (May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027) and four one-year option periods extending through June 30, 2030, with potential for a six-month extension evaluation period.
