020-PSP-Troop F, Lamar Station Lawn Care

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania State Police, specifically Troop F, Lamar Station located in Columbia County and Milroy CDP, is soliciting a lawn care service contract for their facility. The procurement opportunity requires a vendor to provide comprehensive lawn maintenance services, including mowing the lawn four times per month, trimming shrubbery three times per year, and performing monthly weed control. The contract period is estimated to run from April 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023, with potential for four one-year renewal options. A mandatory on-site visit is required for all prospective bidders, and vendors must complete and submit a Proof of Visit Form signed by the Station Commander or representative. The bid is due by January 20, 2023, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Vendors must sign in before and after each service visit, and the Commonwealth will only pay for services actually rendered with no minimum amount guaranteed.

This procurement is exclusively set aside for small businesses in Pennsylvania, with a strict requirement that vendors self-certify as a small business prior to the bid opening date through www.smallbusiness.pa.gov. Failure to obtain small business certification by the bid opening date will result in an automatic bid rejection. The contract does not specify an exact award value or budget range, but it represents a service contract for ongoing lawn maintenance at a state police station. Interested vendors must carefully review the attached Lawn Care Specifications document and complete all required documentation, including the mandatory Proof of Visit Form. The procurement process emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and support for small businesses within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's procurement ecosystem.
