SYNOPSIS: Sources Sought The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) of the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is conducting market research for the purpose of identifying businesses that demonstrate the capability to provide Janitorial services for two buildings approximately 40,000 sq. ft. per building. The two buildings are located at 74 Magruder Road, Highlands, NJ 07732. Over the course of the next two years, the Sandy Hook campus will transition from two buildings (building 74 and the JJH Laboratory) to one building (JJH Laboratory). This effort will encompass all laboratories, office space, maintenance space, seawater systems and infrastructure support equipment. This transition will require multiple relocation of personnel and a sizable construction project to convert the JJH laboratory into a single use facility supporting NOAA by other resources. The result of this transition will be that the government will abandon building 74. This is a significant reduction in square footage. The NEFSC has a responsibility to maintain a safe, clean, organized, functional, and aesthetically pleasing environment for the staff and visitors. REQUIREMENTS: Janitorial Services – Ensure services are performed in a manner that ensures the health and safety of Federal employees and members of the public; and, both the sanitary conditions and esthetic appearance of Federal buildings.
