The contract period is set from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2030, with options to extend services for up to four additional years. The services are specifically tailored for five buildings totaling approximately 110,306 square feet and include daily cleaning tasks such as waste disposal, dusting, and surface sanitization, all to be performed outside standard operating hours.
This procurement is specifically set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting the government's commitment to supporting this demographic. The document also emphasizes compliance with several federal regulations, including safety guidelines and performance standards to ensure high-quality service with minimal disruption to facility operations. Additionally, it mandates that contractor personnel possess adequate qualifications, adhere to security protocols, and engage in ongoing training for compliance.

This document is an amendment to a solicitation issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs for janitorial services across five facilities. The primary purpose of the amendment is to extend the deadline for offer submissions, respond to vendor inquiries, and modify the Statement of Work (SOW). Key changes include an extension of the offer deadline to May 9, 2025, and the addition of a sustainability clause requiring products and services meet environmental standards.
The SOW outlines essential janitorial tasks, including daily cleaning tasks like emptying waste cans, cleaning restrooms, and maintaining floors, alongside compliance with health and safety regulations. The contractor is responsible for providing necessary equipment and qualified personnel, including a Certified Executive Housekeeper for oversight. Additionally, the contractor must adhere to specific performance and inspection guidelines to ensure quality service delivery.
This amendment ensures prospective contractors understand operational expectations, sustainability requirements, and outlines the contractual relationship without government oversight in service delivery. The rigorous compliance measures reflect the VA’s commitment to quality service while maintaining high standards within healthcare facilities.
