The South Dakota Air National Guard (SDANG) intends to issue a firm fixed price contract for non-personal janitorial services for cleaning of the dining hall and gym in support of the 114th Fighter Wing (114FW). Background: The 114FW Dining Hall is located in building 60 and the Base Gym is located in building 63 of the SDANG Base in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The dining facility is dedicated to providing full lunch meal service and other meals as required and the base gym is dedicated to providing a full range of physical fitness equipment to meet the fitness requirements of Department of Defense (DoD) personnel.

Dining Hall Cleaning Services are usually required for Saturday and Sunday of each RSD weekend, but may be required other days of the week due to mission requirements.

Period of Performance (PoP): The Period of Performance shall be one Base Period of 12 months and four potential 12 month Option Periods. See attached Performance Work Statement (PWS) for additional specifications and requirements. Site Visit: All interested parties are invited to attend a site visit at 10:00 am CST on Wednesday, February 9, 2022. Site visit attendance is not mandatory; however, offerors are expected to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance to the extent that information is reasonably obtainable. Advanced coordination and submission of required documentation two days prior to the event is required for access to the installation. Please coordinate your attendance by immediately contacting Gregory Johnson at gregory.johnson.51@us.af.mil or 605-988-5431. Information discussed at any site visit shall not change/qualify the terms and conditions of the solicitation and specifications and all terms and conditions remain unchanged unless amended in writing. All site visit information will be released to all eligible offerors on a non-attribution basis. Questions: All questions must be in writing and directed to Gregory Johnson at gregory.johnson.51@us.af.mil and Jeremiah Minter at jeremiah.minter@us.af.mil. Questions must be submitted no later than three business days prior to quote due date or may not be considered. Do not contact other Government personnel as this will only delay receipt of answers. All questions and the answers will be provided to offerors on a non-attribution basis via an amendment to the solicitation. All terms and conditions remain unchanged unless amended in writing. Preparing and Submitting your Quote: Offerors shall submit their quotes to gregory.johnson.51@us.af.mil and jeremiah.minter@us.af.mil prior to the closing date and time of the solicitation. It is the responsibility of the offeror to ensure their quote is received in its entirety prior to the closing of the solicitation. To facilitate the most expeditious and equitable evaluation process possible offerors must use the attached Quote Sheet to provide the following: Contractor Data, Technical Approach, Past Performance, and Price Schedule. Offerors must also complete and sign and submit the attached 889 Representations document along with their completed Quote Sheet. The Contracting Officer may determine an offer noncompliant with the terms and conditions of the solicitation if the contractor does not provide the information listed above. Please make quotes valid for a minimum of 60 days. Evaluation: The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government (i.e.: best value) based upon an integrated assessment of the following three evaluation factors: Technical Approach, Past Performance, and Price. Offerors are cautioned that award may not necessarily be made to the lowest priced offeror. Note: All non-priced factors combined are considered more important than price. Technical Approach: The technical approach evaluation will assess the contractors understanding of the requirement, feasibility of approach, and the likelihood of technical success in fulfilling the solicitation's requirements relative to the PWS based upon the offeror's responses to the questions on the Technical Approach tab on the attached Quote Sheet. Three technical approach sub-factors will be used to include: Staffing & Startup Operations Plan, Hiring & Retention Plan, and Quality Control. Offerors must provide the minimum information requested for each sub-factor with their quote. Past Performance: The past performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with an offeror's likelihood of success in fulfilling the solicitation's requirements as indicated by the offeror's record of past performance. The offeror shall provide up to three references using the Past Performance tab on the attached Quote Sheet for recent work performed which is relevant to the complexity, size, and scope of the instant solicitation requirements. The Government reserves the right to obtain past performance information from any available source besides those specified and may contact customers other than those identified by the offeror when evaluating past performance. Present and past performance shall be evaluated as a measure of the Government’s confidence in the offeror’s ability to successfully perform based on previous and current contract or project efforts. If an offeror has no record of relevant past performance the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Price: The Government will evaluate offers by adding the total of all line item prices found within the Price Schedule tab on the attached Quote Sheet in accordance with 52.217-5. The total evaluated price will be the sum of all contract line items, which includes all option periods. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). The price must be determined as fair and reasonable by the Contracting Officer prior to award. Evaluation of Option to Extend Services under 52.217-8. For the purposes of the award of the resulting contract, the Government intends to evaluate the option to extend services, provided under FAR 52.217-8, as follows: The evaluation will consider the possibility that the option can be exercised at any time, and can be exercised in increments of one to six months, but for no more than a total of six months during the life of the contract. The evaluation will assume that the prices for any option exercised under FAR 52.217-8 will be at the same rates as those in effect under the contract at time of award. The evaluation will therefore assume that the addition of the price or prices of any possible extension or extensions under FAR 52.217-8 to the total price for the basic requirement and the total price for the priced options has the same effect on the total price of all offers relative to each other, and will not affect the ranking of offers based on price, unless, after reviewing the offers, the Government determines that there is a basis for finding otherwise. This evaluation will not obligate the Government to exercise any option under FAR 52.217-8. Wage Determination (WD): Wage Determination 15-5369 (Rev.-15) posted 12/27/2021 for Minnehaha County in South Dakota is currently applicable. Wage Determinations can be found at https://sam.gov/content/wage-determinations . The current prevailing WD will be incorporated at time of award. In the event the current prevailing WD is changed, offerors/contractors will be given a reasonable opportunity to provide revised proposals solely to amend pricing due to WD changes. This does not constitute and shall not be construed as discussions. System for Award Management (SAM): Your company must have an active status in SAM.gov within 2 weeks of notification of potential award. If not already registered in SAM, go to www.sam.gov to register prior to submitting a quote. For assistance with your SAM registration, go to https://www.aptac-us.org/find-a-ptac/ to find a local Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) near you.
