UNSPSC 76111500: General building and office cleaning and maintenance services

UNSPSC 76111500 General building and office cleaning and maintenance services is a Class code that encompasses routine janitorial and custodial services state and local governments procure for administrative facilities, state office buildings, courthouses, schools, transit facilities, correctional institutions, and specialized structures such as water treatment plants. The work covers daily restroom sanitation, floor care (mopping, vacuuming, buffing, stripping, and waxing), trash removal, surface disinfection, dusting, and periodic deep cleaning. Issuing bodies span state departments (treasury, transportation, environmental protection, human services), county commissioners, city governments, school districts, special-purpose authorities (transit, airport, sheriff's offices), and other government entities. Repeat buyers are evident across Illinois (Department of Transportation, Department of Human Services, Central Management Services, Secretary of State facilities), Maine (multiple agencies through restricted Work Center solicitations), California (Department of Motor Vehicles, Caltrans), and Texas (Department of Public Safety, Health and Human Services Commission, Workforce Commission). Many jurisdictions impose prevailing wage requirements, security background checks for personnel, insurance minimums (typically $1 million commercial general liability), and compliance with state-specific labor and environmental standards. Set-asides and preferences vary widely: small business restrictions (Illinois, California), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) preferences (Colorado, Michigan), Community Rehabilitation Organization set-asides (Michigan), Work Center-only restrictions (Maine), and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) or Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) requirements (Texas, California).

Recent activity concentrates in California, Illinois, Texas, Colorado, Michigan, Maine, and Georgia. Representative opportunities include the Kentucky State Treasurer's RFB for West Frankfort office cleaning (due August 4, 2026), the Texas Workforce Commission's dual-location IFB for McAllen and El Paso facilities with 6.5 percent veteran-owned subcontracting goals (due August 12, 2026), Colorado's statewide RFP for 13 facilities with anticipated award mid-August 2026 and a 90 percent inspection score threshold, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's 80-plus-facility statewide proposal with 26 percent VetHUB utilization requirement (deadline July 6, 2026). Michigan's Department of Technology, Management and Budget solicited janitorial services across 265 state facilities spanning 10 Prosperity Regions with proposals due August 6, 2026, contract commencement January 1, 2027, and structured technical scoring (80-point minimum to advance to pricing evaluation). Illinois Secretary of State issued multiple facility-specific RFQs with prevailing wage and security system management requirements; several Illinois Central Management Services procurements carry small business set-asides with mandatory pre-bid walk-throughs. Most contracts run one to three years with renewal options; pricing structures range from per-square-foot monthly fees to lump-sum arrangements with itemized labor, materials, and equipment costs. Evaluation heavily weights past performance, references, compliance capability, and cost competitiveness.
