Linda F Hensley

Linda F Hensley Cleaning Service, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Burnsville, North Carolina, provides janitorial and facility maintenance services to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides and full-and-open procurements. The vendor is registered in SAM.gov and holds NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services) and PSC Housekeeping–Custodial Janitorial designation across its entire footprint.

Customer concentration is absolute: all ten recent awards fund work for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Southern Region (Region 8), representing $355 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor's customer base is entirely confined to a single federal agency and geographic region—the Appalachian Ranger District and associated Forest Service facilities in Mars Hill and Murphy, North Carolina. This concentration reflects a stable, recurring relationship rather than competitive diversification; Linda F Hensley has delivered janitorial services to the Appalachian Ranger District for five consecutive fiscal years with annual delivery order values consistently ranging from approximately $14,000 to $15,000.

The vendor holds two named parent vehicles with the Forest Service. An indefinite delivery contract (12444121D0015) with a $100,000 ceiling, awarded August 17, 2021, and extended through October 31, 2026, has supported five task orders carrying $73 thousand in combined potential value. A newer Blanket Purchase Agreement (12444126A0012), a Total Small Business set-aside awarded November 1, 2026, carries an $83,000 ceiling extending through October 31, 2031 with optional four one-year renewals and a six-month extension through April 30, 2032. The BPA specifies daily waste, kitchen, floor, and restroom care; quarterly light-fixture and high-dusting; semiannual carpet shampooing; and glass and blind cleaning at two facilities totaling approximately 10,000 square feet. All work is performed after 5 p.m. or on weekends, and Service Contract Labor Standards apply: janitorial positions require a minimum of $15.80 per hour plus $5.55 in fringe benefits. All cleaning products must be biobased and LEED-compliant per FAR 52.223-2.

Recent activity shows a reactivation pattern. Awards clustered in 2021–2022 (three and one respectively), then dropped to a single award each in 2024 and 2025, before rising to two awards in 2026, including the new BPA. Two awards carrying combined potential value of $31 thousand face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, positioning the vendor for recompete or renewal negotiations with the Forest Service Southern Region. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $162 thousand, representing 46 percent of combined potential value, reflecting the typical partial-obligation posture on indefinite delivery vehicles with multiple option years and optional periods not yet exercised.
