The Federal Communications Commission Enterprise Acquisition Center is requesting quotations for landscape and snow-removal services at the FCC Columbia Campus in Columbia, Maryland, under RFQ 273FCC26Q0008, with quotations due August 6, 2026 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time and a mandatory site visit on July 30, 2026 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time. This is a 100% total small business set-aside under NAICS code 561730 (Landscaping Services) with a size standard of $9.5 million, the primary eligibility filter.

The scope encompasses recurring lawn care and grounds maintenance across approximately 76.5 acres, turf and mulch bed upkeep, tree and shrub care, spring and fall cleanup, seven-day-a-week snow and ice removal from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. including Federal holidays, emergency on-call snow and ice removal with two-hour on-site arrival response, and unscheduled services as ordered. The contractor must supply all management, supervision, labor, equipment, transportation, materials, and supplies.

The contract period is one twelve-month base period from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with four optional twelve-month renewal periods exercisable at the Government's unilateral discretion, for a total potential five-year term through August 31, 2031. This will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price purchase order with fixed-price rates for unscheduled and emergency services.

Quoters must hold a current Maryland Department of Agriculture Pesticide Applicator/Business license (pass/fail requirement), be registered and active in SAM.gov at submission and award, and maintain Commercial General Liability insurance with $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 general aggregate, Automobile Liability insurance with $1,000,000 combined single limit, and Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability insurance with $100,000 per accident.

Evaluation weighs Technical Capability as most important, Past Performance as second most important, and Price as least important; Technical Capability and Past Performance combined carry greater weight than Price. Questions are due July 31, 2026 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. The FCC will not reimburse travel costs for the site visit.
