The U.S. Army Contracting Command – New Jersey has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for Grounds Maintenance Services for the 99th Readiness Division located in Bedford, VA. This RFI aims to gather input from potential vendors regarding the draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) and seeks to identify suitable NAICS codes for the required services, particularly NAICS Code 561730 for Landscaping Services. Interested parties are asked to submit information addressing specific queries about their organizational capabilities, past experiences with similar projects, and their plans for subcontracting or teaming. Additionally, respondents must provide their organizational details and socioeconomic status. The RFI emphasizes that participation is voluntary and does not guarantee any future contracts. Responses should be submitted via email to Contract Specialist Ronald M. Stinson, with inquiries also directed to him. This document serves as a preliminary step to assess vendor interest and capabilities before potentially issuing a formal Request for Quote (RFQ).

The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for a non-personal services contract for grounds maintenance services at the Bedford USARC, supporting the 99th Readiness Division. The contractor is responsible for providing all personnel, equipment, and materials needed to maintain healthy outdoor environments, emphasizing compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. The contract features one nine-month base period and four twelve-month option periods. Key responsibilities include routine mowing, trimming, edging, and cleanup with strict adherence to performance standards, such as grass height and timely debris removal. The document stipulates quality control measures, operational hours, and personnel requirements, including identification and conduct standards for contractor employees. Additionally, safety regulations, environmental protection protocols, and the necessity for security compliance in Army installations are emphasized. The contractor must submit performance documentation, manage key control, and conduct activities minimally interfering with government operations. The scope and methodologies of services are specified, particularly for specific seasonal tasks. Regular quality assessments will ensure compliance with the established performance requirements, with penalties for non-compliance reflected in payment adjustments. This robust framework ensures that grounds maintenance is conducted efficiently, safely, and economically, fulfilling the government's environmental stewardship obligations.
