Amendment 0001 United States Naval Academy Grounds Maintenance IDIQ Contract

The Department of the Navy, through NAVFACSYSCOM Washington, is soliciting proposals for a grounds maintenance Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract at the United States Naval Academy (USNA) and NSA Annapolis. This procurement is designated as an 8A set-aside under NAICS code 561730 for Landscaping Services and PSC S208 for Housekeeping- Landscaping/Groundskeeping. Performance is centered at the Washington Navy Yard and surrounding installation areas, with a response deadline of April 9, 2021.

The scope of work involves critical installation services, including the upkeep of all lawns, flower beds, fields, and vegetated areas across the USNA and NSA Annapolis. Requirements include the maintenance and repair of athletic fields in accordance with National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) standards and the care, pruning, and arborist consultation for historically sensitive trees. Additionally, the contractor is responsible for emergency services to remove fallen trees impacting facility access or Anti-Terrorism Force Protection (ATFP) concerns, as well as ice and snow removal from pedestrian walkways and building entrances during winter months.

This contract is vital to mission success, as the appearance of the grounds directly impacts the reputation of the USNA and its ability to attract prospective students. Failure to maintain these facilities would impair the Academy’s obligation to host NCAA sporting events and could create hazards for exercising Midshipmen. Solicitation number N4008021R0189 includes four attachments issued under Amendment 0001, such as revised Exhibit Line Item Numbers (ELINs) and a conformed copy of the solicitation. Jillita Bulluck serves as the point of contact for this requirement.
