    Description

    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to extend its sole source bridge contract with United Federal Facility Services, LLC (UFFS) for custodial support at its Research Triangle Park (RTP) and Chapel Hill, NC facilities. This extension, lasting a minimum of two months with the potential for up to four months, is necessary due to delays in awarding a new long-term contract caused by protests and scope changes. The custodial services provided are critical for maintaining sanitary conditions and ensuring the health and safety of over 2,000 employees across 1.2 million square feet of facilities, particularly at the mission-critical RTP labs. Interested parties capable of meeting the EPA's requirements may submit a capability statement or proposal by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on March 27, 2025, to the Contracting Officer, Greg Forrest, at forrest.gregory@epa.gov.

    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to extend its sole source bridge contract with United Federal Facility Services, LLC (UFFS) for custodial support at its Research Triangle Park (RTP) and Chapel Hill, NC facilities. This extension, lasting at least two months with potential for up to four months, is deemed necessary due to delays in awarding a new long-term contract caused by protests and scope changes. Custodial services are critical to maintaining sanitary conditions and ensuring the health and safety of over 2,000 employees across 1.2 million square feet of facilities. A disruption in these services could severely impact operations, particularly at the mission-critical RTP labs. The document details the scope of custodial duties and concludes that UFFS's familiarity with the facilities and existing management structure make them uniquely qualified to continue these essential services without interruption. The expected performance period aligns with the need for continuity as the EPA prepares for possible relocation from the Chapel Hill facility by mid-2025. Responses to this notice are invited from capable sources, with the aim to ensure cleanliness and safety in a timely and efficient manner until a new contract is effectively in place.
