The Pennsylvania State Police, Procurement & Supply Division is seeking lawn care services for the Gettysburg Station (Troop H) through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) posted on March 13, 2017, with a bid due date of March 29, 2017. The procurement covers comprehensive lawn maintenance, specifically requiring four grass cuttings per month and monthly weed control services for the station's grounds. The service period is structured from July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2022. Bidders are required to complete a mandatory Proof of Visit Form, which must be signed by the Station Commander and the vendor, and submitted prior to the bid opening date. Electronic bid responses are the only accepted submission method, and all interested vendors must register on the Pennsylvania Supplier Portal (www.pasupplierportal.state.pa.us) to participate. Payment for services will be rendered monthly upon completion of actual services, and bidders are advised to monitor the Department of General Services website for potential change notices that may be incorporated into the bid.

This procurement opportunity is explicitly set aside exclusively for small businesses, with a mandatory requirement for self-certification through www.smallbusiness.pa.gov prior to the bid opening date. Vendors without a valid small business certification by the bid opening date will have their submissions deemed unresponsive and automatically disqualified from consideration. The contract will cover jurisdictions including Adams County, Dauphin County, Gibraltar CDP, and Harveys Lake Borough. Interested vendors can obtain additional information and submit questions to the contact person, Kathleen Kulp, at kkulp@pa.gov or via phone at 717-705-5951. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documentation, the multi-year contract structure suggests a potentially substantial ongoing service commitment for lawn maintenance at the state police station.
