The government will evaluate proposals based on past performance, understanding of requirements, and price, with the intent to award a firm fixed price contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal meets technical requirements and offers the lowest price. The contract period includes a base year from June 30, 2025 to March 31, 2026, with four optional one-year extension periods through March 31, 2030, plus a potential six-month extension through September 30, 2030.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 561730 (Landscaping Services) with a size standard of $9.5 million. While no current incumbent contractor is specifically identified in the documentation, the solicitation includes detailed Performance Work Statements, Quality Assurance Surveillance Plans, and comprehensive mapping appendices that define precise maintenance zones and service requirements. The contract structure has evolved through multiple amendments from an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) format to a firm fixed price arrangement, with maintenance levels varying from weekly to biannual depending on specific park reservations. Work will be performed Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, excluding federal holidays, with maintenance cycles ranging from 14 to 28 times per year depending on the designated maintenance level for each area.
