- Description
- The Library of Congress (LOC) intends to award a sole source firm-fixed-price contract to Goodwill Industries (Goodwill) to procure Janitorial services for its facility at the Fort Meade army base in Maryland. The Library intends to award the contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1; Goodwill is the only source capable of satisfying the Library's requirement. A current contract between LOC and Goodwill expires on December 14, 2015. The sole source contract will be a short-term Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) four-month base contract running from December 15, 2015 to April 14, 2016, with two (2), two-month option periods; 1st option period running from April 15, 2016 to June 14, 2016 and 2nd option period running from June 15, 2016 through August 14, 2016. Through the proposed short-term contract, Goodwill Industries will continue to perform Janitorial services for the Library's Fort Meade Campus to prevent a break in the provision of services while the facility is added to the AbilityOne procurement list. 41 United States Code, Chapter 85 mandates that the contract must be awarded to an AbilityOne Company. Awarding the contract will enable the Library to ensure consistent maintenance of a clean, safe and sanitary environment at the facility. The facility is the Library's offsite archival storage; it includes high-efficiency, high-storage-capacity designed modular storage modules that house books, print and visual collection materials, office spaces, a warehouse, collection storage bays and cold vaults. The facility is a high-technological infrastructure that requires certain expertise for cleaning the cold storage areas. The incumbent contractor's staff are specially trained to conduct the Janitorial services for the cold storage areas. A break in the provision of Janitorial services at the facility will result in the buildings becoming unsanitary and potentially unsafe. This notice is for informational purposes only and not a request for quotation. No solicitation document is available, and telephone, fax or email requests will not be honored. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. A determination not to compete this proposed contract based on this notice is within the discretion of the Library.
