This document is a Notice of Recommended Bid Award from the School Board of Polk County, Florida's Purchasing Department for Bid File Number 040-RW-1225, titled "Custodial Cleaning Supplies - Stock". The bid seeks to establish a one-year contract for custodial cleaning supplies to be delivered to the Custodial Services warehouse, with the recommended bid award to be made at the School Board Meeting on February 25, 2025. Multiple vendors were recommended for award across various bid line items, including Agni Enterprises LLC, All Florida Paper, Brady Plus Southeastern Paper Group of FL, Cypress Supply, Inc., Dade Paper & Bag LLC, Genesis II, Inc., Pyramid School Products, and Sani-Chem Cleaning Supplies. The posting period for this notice is from 9:00 AM on 1/30/25 until 9:00 AM on 2/3/25, with the contract period anticipated to run through November 30, 2025.

The bid covers a comprehensive range of custodial and cleaning supplies, with vendors awarded for specific line items across categories such as safety supplies, paper products, cleaning chemicals, and school-related supplies. Two line items (54 and 79) received no award due to lack of acceptable bids, with quotes to be obtained as needed. The document indicates that quotes will be obtained as required, suggesting flexibility in procurement. The bid does not specify a total contract value, but the multiple awarded vendors and potential to purchase up to 5,000 units of certain items suggest a significant procurement effort. The recommended award follows competitive bidding procedures established by the School Board of Polk County, with potential legal implications for failure to follow prescribed protest procedures under Florida Statutes.
