Things to watch (12)
From the version posted Oct 23, 2026.
- Serious: New Jersey business license and certified applicators required. You need a New Jersey pest control business license, with a copy due before award, and state-certified staff to apply pesticides, so a business without New Jersey credentials cannot perform.
- Serious: Any omitted price makes the offer non-responsive. Every ELIN (exhibit line item) in Attachment 1 and the matching SF 1449 lines must be priced; the pricing spreadsheet was attached but not read here.
- Worth checking: Work plan and pesticide use sheets due with the proposal. A Contractor's Work Plan and a Planned Pesticide Use Sheet for each pesticide per pest must be sent with the proposal, which takes real preparation time.

- Worth checking: Contractor pays the first $500 of each service order. The contractor is fully responsible for the first $500 of labor and material on each pest control service order, so many small orders may produce no extra payment.
- Worth checking: No guaranteed amount of work. The Navy orders work only through task orders and says nothing about how many it will place, so revenue is not guaranteed.
- Worth checking: The site visit was Oct 27, 2026. Check the notice and its amendments for whether attendance was required, and whether another visit is offered.
- Worth checking: The site visit was Oct 26, 2026. Check the notice and its amendments for whether attendance was required, and whether another visit is offered.
- Minor: Period of performance start stated two ways. Section F gives December 1, 2026 to November 30, 2031, but Section L says the periods run from the date of Notice to Proceed; ask which governs.
- Minor: Notice for changing a pesticide: 5 or 10 business days. The pest control work statement says changes to pesticide use need approval at least five business days ahead, while the deliverables table says 10 business days.
- Minor: Non-recurring work taken through DoD FedMall. Some orders come through DoD FedMall and are paid by Government purchase card, so you need the ability to accept and invoice them electronically.
- Minor: Gate delays and vehicle searches are not paid for. Delays entering and leaving the station are not compensated, and vehicles can be searched at any time.
- Minor: Service Contract Act wage rates apply. A Service Contract Act wage determination (minimum pay and benefits for service workers) for Monmouth and Ocean Counties, New Jersey is part of the solicitation, so labor prices must meet those rates.
