No. Grounds maintenance is bought as a commercial service, and FAR 32.202-1(a) puts financing on the contractor for commercial purchases. Commercial advance and interim payments exist under 32.202-1(b), but only when the price is above the simplified acquisition threshold and the contracting officer finds buyer financing customary in that market. Plan on floating payroll. Progress payments under FAR Subpart 32.5 are for non-commercial work with a long stretch before the first bill, so you read that right.
What helps is billing often. FAR 32.906(c) and 5 CFR 1315.4(k) say agencies pay for partial performance of services unless the contract prohibits it, so check how the RFQ sets up its CLINs and invoice each month as that month's service is accepted. Under FAR 52.232-25 the due date is the 30th day after a proper invoice or after acceptance, whichever is later, and late payment earns interest. FAR 32.009-1 also sets a goal of paying small businesses within 15 days of a proper invoice, but it's a goal, not a right.
We pay staff weekly and our county client pays monthly, so I've lived this gap. Nearly every slow check we've had came back to the invoice itself: wrong contract number, missing service period, sent to the wrong office. A defective invoice gets sent back and the clock starts over, so get the billing office details from the contracting officer at kickoff.
For the first 60 days, set up a bank line of credit before award and size it from your payroll. SBA's CAPLines program has a contract line built for this.
