Amendment 4: Updated Q&A - Fort Yuma Health Center Pest Control Service

The Indian Health Service (IHS) is issuing RFQ IHS1523673 for Integrated Pest Management services at the Fort Yuma Health Center. This total small‑business set‑aside (NAICS 561710) will be awarded on a firm‑fixed‑price, all‑or‑none basis. Offerors must submit a written quotation by email only to Contract Specialist Kerri Gilmore (Kerri.Gilmore@ihs.gov) with the subject line “RFQ IHS1523673 Quotation Submission: Fort Yuma Pest Control Service” no later than 1:00 PM MST on 17 April 2026. The quote must be firm for at least 120 days, include CAGE, DUNS, Tax ID, FOB point, discount terms, delivery date, and acknowledge the 120‑day acceptance period. Technical questions are due by 5:00 PM MST on 10 April 2026. Proposals must contain a detailed technical approach, at least two recent (≤5 years) references for comparable healthcare or government pest‑control work, and pricing for the base year and any option years. Evaluation will consider Technical Approach and Past Performance as significantly more important than Price, though price may become decisive when technical scores are close. The award will be made on a Best‑Value basis; the Government may select a higher‑priced offer if it demonstrates superior technical merit or reduced performance risk. Key requirements include providing all labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals for IPM services, including removal of outdoor nuisance wildlife (gophers, ground squirrels, prairie dogs). Offerors must comply with Tribal Employment Rights Office (TERO) obligations, paying an annual $150 fee and obtaining work permits (contact Brian Golding, EDA Director, 760‑572‑5270). The incumbent is RAM Pest Management, LLC (PO 75H71221P00177, $131,900). Post‑award submittals are limited to those listed in the Statement of Work (e.g., work schedule, SDS, termite/bird‑control programs). Liability insurance must be provided by the prime contractor. Non‑responsive offers may be rejected without discussion, and the Government reserves the right to award no contract if funding or requirements change.
