Who can bid
Only small business concerns may bid on this set-aside. To qualify, a business must meet the size standard associated with NAICS 561720 and be registered in the Small Business Administration's Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) or certify its small business status in the System for Award Management (SAM).

Firms with experience in federal facility maintenance hold an advantage in understanding security requirements, background check procedures, and federal contracting protocols.
How to put together a competitive bid
Verify your small business size status. The SBA generally applies a revenue-based size standard for NAICS 561720. Ensure your SAM profile reflects current size information and that your business is not affiliated with other entities that would push you over the threshold.
Understand the labor requirements. Janitorial services are heavily labor-dependent and subject to the Service Contract Act (SCA). Expect to identify prevailing wage rates for the Falmouth, MA area, likely under SCA wage determination. Your pricing must account for these labor costs, plus fringe benefits and associated payroll burdens.
Demonstrate reliability and continuity. Government janitorial contracts emphasize consistent performance with minimal disruption. Highlight your staffing plans, backup personnel strategies, supervision structure, and quality control processes. References from comparable facilities—especially federal or commercial office environments—strengthen your proposal.
Address local logistical factors. Falmouth is on Cape Cod, with seasonal traffic patterns and a workforce pool that fluctuates with tourism cycles. Your proposal should explain how you will recruit, retain, and transport staff to the facility year-round.
Review the solicitation for specific technical requirements. Performance specifications, cleaning frequencies, supplies versus contractor-furnished equipment, and green cleaning mandates are commonly specified but are not included in the metadata—see the solicitation for these details.
