Environmentally Preferable Cleaning Products

The Massachusetts Statewide Contract FAC118 for Environmentally Preferable Cleaning Products provides a comprehensive procurement solution for government entities seeking sustainable cleaning solutions. The vehicle covers four primary product categories: cleaning chemicals and disinfectants, janitorial supplies and equipment, disposable janitorial paper products, and powered janitorial equipment and services. All products must meet stringent environmental specifications, with many requiring independent third-party certifications such as Green Seal, UL ECOLOGO, and EPA Safer Choice. The contract enables purchasing through multiple methods, including COMMBUYS PunchOut catalogs, direct purchases, and quote solicitations, with a focus on environmentally responsible and cost-effective cleaning solutions.

The contract is administered by the Massachusetts Operational Services Division (OSD) and spans six years, from March 1, 2022, to February 29, 2028, with a potential two-year extension. It serves multiple states including Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, and Rhode Island, with an estimated annual contract value of $15 million. The vehicle includes multiple prime contractors, with an intent to award at least 10 vendors to ensure at least two contractors per state. Vendors are required to provide supplier diversity commitments ranging from 3% to 35% and offer various pricing discounts, including prompt payment, volume, and dock delivery options. Pricing is structured as "ceiling" or "not-to-exceed" rates, allowing for further negotiation and competitive procurement.
