Ely Ranger District Janitorial

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Ely Ranger District is requesting proposals for janitorial services under a Total Small Business Set-Aside (NAICS 561720), with proposals due May 12, 2026 and performance beginning June 1, 2026. This is a small-business-only competition.

The scope covers routine and periodic cleaning of an approximately 12,000-square-foot office facility in Ely, Nevada, including non-carpeted and carpeted floors, restrooms, windows, drinking fountains, and dusting of surfaces on weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, semi-annual, and annual schedules. The contractor must perform services three times weekly on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, or anytime on Saturday or Sunday, before 7:00 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m., excluding Federal holidays. The contractor furnishes all equipment and supplies — vacuum cleaners, window cleaning equipment, carpet shampooers, dusting supplies, air fresheners, and related materials. The government provides janitorial closet space, select supplies (paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, wastebasket liners, disinfectant), a ladder, utilities, and refuse collection services.

Compliance with USDA's Green Purchasing Affirmative Procurement Program is mandatory, requiring the use of biobased products meeting minimum content requirements for sanitary tissue and cleaning supplies. Within thirty days of award, the contractor must submit an Operations and Maintenance Plan detailing commitment to biobased products, employee health and safety practices, and environmental management, and must provide quarterly data on quantity and dollar values of biobased products used.

The contract runs from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027 with four one-year renewal options extending through May 31, 2031. Performance is monitored through file reviews, periodic inspections, random observations, and customer feedback against the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan. No contract value estimate is provided in the source materials.
