From the notice

Scope of services includes, but is not limited to: Lawn care (mowing, edging, trimming, weed control, turf repair/re-establishment, overseeding) Pruning of trees, shrubs, hedges, vines, ground cover, and flowers Leaf, branch, and organic waste removal; debris removal and disposal Watering and maintenance of Government-installed irrigation systems (Government furnishes water)…

What you'll need to bid
- A quote or proposal form. Usually the SF-1449 (or SF-18 for small quotes), filled in and signed, with a price for every line and option year.
- Active SAM.gov registration. Free from the government, and it must be active before award. It can take a few weeks, so start early (how to register).
- Acknowledgment of every amendment (SF-30). Missing one is the most common reason a good offer gets thrown out.
- Prices that respect the wage rules. Many federal service contracts include a Service Contract Act wage determination setting minimum pay and benefits for each job category. Price your labor from it.
- Past performance and a short technical write-up, if the notice asks for them (no past performance yet?).
- A clear staffing and quality plan, if the notice evaluates technical approach: who does the work, how you'll cover absences, and how you'll check quality.
Always check the notice itself: the instructions in the solicitation win over any general rule.
