Columbia Landscape & Snow Services

1. General Information                

1.1 This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with FAR Part 12, as revised by the FAR Overhaul and implemented by FCC Class Deviation RFO-2026-12 – Supplement 2, May 12, 2026. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. All FAR references in this RFQ are to the revised (FAR Overhaul model deviation) text. This Request for Quotations (RFQ) is issued as a 100% total small business set-aside under the simplified acquisition procedures for commercial services at FAR 12.201-1. This solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses by reference; the full text of provisions and clauses may be accessed electronically at www.acquisition.gov.

1.2 The Government anticipates issuing a single firm-fixed-price purchase order (with fixed-price rates for unscheduled and emergency services) to the responsible small business quoter whose quotation represents the best value to the Government as described in Section 5 of this RFQ. A quotation is not an offer; issuance of a purchase order by the Government constitutes the offer, and the contractor’s written acceptance or commencement of performance constitutes acceptance. This RFQ does not commit the Government to issue an order or to pay any costs incurred in the preparation of a quotation.

1.3 The total estimated value of this acquisition exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold but is within the $9 million ceiling for use of the simplified procedures at FAR 12.201-1. Pursuant to FAR 12.202(b), this posting combines the presolicitation notice and the solicitation. The period of performance is one (1) twelve-month base period and four (4) twelve-month option periods, exercisable at the Government’s unilateral discretion, for a total potential period of performance of five years.

1.4 Quoters must be registered and active in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) at the time of quotation submission and at the time of order issuance, with current annual Representations and Certifications completed electronically in SAM. Note: SAM system updates may lag FAR Overhaul policy updates, and SAM may continue to require entities to complete representations based on provisions that are not included in this solicitation. The Contracting Officer will rely on representations based on the provisions included in this solicitation; entities are not required to, nor are they able to, update their entity registration to remove other representations in SAM.
