Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA), specifically the PUBLIC BUILDINGS SERVICE, has issued a Justification & Approval (J&A) for an Other Than Full and Open Competition action. This J&A supports an emergency, sole-source bridge contract for janitorial and related services at the Sioux City Federal Building and US Courthouse in Sioux City, IA. The purpose is to ensure continuity of services due to delays in the procurement of a new, permanent contract. The subsequent re-procurement for these services will be conducted using full and open competition, with set-asides for small business concerns.
Purpose & Justification
This document justifies a sole-source bridge contract to Kleane Kare Team LLC (KKT) for janitorial services. The current contract expires on October 1, 2025. Delays in finalizing a new national scope of work for janitorial services have prevented a timely competitive procurement. The justification cites "Unusual and Compelling Urgency" (RFO 6.103-2) as the authority for this action, as KKT is deemed the only vendor capable of continuing services without interruption.
Scope of Work
- Provision of janitorial and related services.
- Contractor shall provide all management, supervision, labor, materials, supplies, and equipment.
- Services to be performed in accordance with the requirements of the solicitation.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm fixed-price, commercial item, performance-based.
- Period of Performance: April 1, 2026 - March 31, 2027 (approximately 1 year).
- Estimated Value: $254,400.36 ($21,200.03/month).
- Option Periods: No additional option periods.
Future Procurement & Set-Aside
While this action is a sole-source justification, the subsequent re-procurement for these janitorial services will be conducted using full and open competition, with set-asides for small business concerns.
Additional Notes
This document is a justification for sole source procurement and does not contain submission or evaluation details for a solicitation. The justification will be posted to the Government Point of Entry (GPE) within 30 days of award. For general inquiries, contact Lea-Suzanne Avila (lea-suzanne.avila@gsa.gov).
