This opportunity is for a base period of one year, from September 28, 2026, through September 27, 2027, with the possibility of two additional one-year option periods.

Practical tips for preparing a competitive response

Ensure your gym is physically located within the specified 2-mile radius of the Rancho Bernardo ICE office. This is a mandatory technical requirement. Clearly state your address in your quotation.

While not mandatory, having access to a gym portal for managing accounts is preferred. If you offer this, highlight it in your response. This could make your quotation more attractive.

Since the award will be based on the lowest-priced technically acceptable quotation, ensure your pricing is competitive while still allowing you to provide quality service. Double-check all your calculations before submission.

Confirm your SAM registration is active and up-to-date. If you are not registered, begin the process immediately as it can take time. Also, ensure all required FAR provisions and clauses are addressed, particularly FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications.
