UNSPSC 76111501: Building cleaning services

UNSPSC 76111501 Building cleaning services is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure routine janitorial and custodial services for offices, facilities, parks, transportation hubs, and specialized environments. Recent solicitations show a steady flow of RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs from water authorities, universities, cities, counties, state agencies, and transit authorities seeking competitive bids for daily cleaning, restroom sanitation, floor care, trash removal, and related services across diverse facility types and square footages. The work typically includes both routine tasks performed multiple times per week and periodic deep cleaning (carpet extraction, floor stripping and waxing, window washing) on monthly or semi-annual schedules. Contractors furnish labor, supervision, equipment, and supplies or—in some cases—the issuing body provides certain consumables. Contract terms commonly run one year with multiple optional renewal periods, and pricing is structured as monthly fees, per-square-foot rates, or lump-sum bids with unit pricing for add-on services.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing the code span water authorities (Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority in Georgia), universities (Texas State University, Georgia Southern University), cities (Norcross, Phoenix, Tampa, Tucson, Indianapolis, Covington, Huntsville), counties (Orange County California, Chatham County Georgia, Palm Beach County Florida, Beaufort County South Carolina), school districts (Pinellas County Florida, Lake County Florida, Polk County Florida), state agencies (Missouri Office of Administration, Nevada State Purchasing, Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet, Illinois Department of Transportation, Texas Department of Public Safety), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), and specialized entities (Kissimmee Utility Authority, Harris Health, Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority, Hilton Head Island Airport). Georgia and Florida see the densest recent activity, with multiple active solicitations from municipal, county, and state sources; activity also concentrates in Texas, Nevada, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority's RFP for custodial services at two treatment divisions (proposals due November 5, 2026), the City of Norcross RFP for custodial cleaning across nine facilities totaling approximately 129,941 square feet (proposals due November 20, 2026), Georgia Southern University's RFP for custodial services across four campuses (proposals due October 28, 2026), Orange County California's countywide janitorial RFP requiring all mandatory job walks (proposals due October 27, 2026 with prevailing wage and DBE goals), and the City of Phoenix RFP for Fire Department custodial services at 24 facilities (offers due November 5, 2026 with a $1 million performance surety requirement). Set-asides and local preferences appear in multiple recent solicitations—Georgia E-Verify compliance, Kentucky resident and small-business preferences, California prevailing wage and DBE participation, Florida SLBE bid discounts, and Phoenix DBE-N commitments are common requirements shaping vendor eligibility and scoring.
