This Question and Answers document pertains to a Request for Bid (RFB) issued by the University of Wisconsin-Shared Services Purchasing on behalf of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Head Start program for custodial services across four Head Start locations: East Appleton, CELC, Peace, and Wilcox. The solicitation was posted on April 14, 2026, with proposal submissions due on May 8, 2026. Bidders are required to submit responses online through the SciQuest procurement portal. Prospective vendors must demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience providing custodial services in any industry setting, not necessarily with UWO specifically. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and subcontracting is permitted subject to prior written approval from UW-Shared Services Purchasing, with the prime contractor remaining fully responsible for all subcontractor performance and adherence to contract terms.
The incumbent vendor, Accu Clean Professional Services, currently services all four locations at the following rates: East Appleton at $85.00 per cleaning, CELC at $63.00 per cleaning, Peace at $63.00 per cleaning, and Wilcox at $75.00 per cleaning. Salary figures are not part of the evaluation criteria and will not influence the bid award. Any proposed subcontractors must provide full contact information, including EIN/TIN/SSN and a signed W9 form, and bidders must clearly outline the subcontractor's role, deliverables, and project milestones within their bid submittal. All inquiries regarding this procurement should be directed to Susan Poff at Susan.Poff@uwss.wisconsin.edu.

VENDOR QUESTIONS/ANSWERS
1. QUESTION…. Would you accept a subcontractor for your head start project?
ANSWER: Subcontracting is permitted; however, it is subject to the requirements outlined in Section
4.14 of the RFB.
Any portion of the work may only be subcontracted with prior written approval from UW–Shared Services Purchasing. If a subcontractor is proposed, the contractor must provide full contact information, including EIN/TIN/SSN and a signed W‑9, upon request. The prime contractor remains fully responsible for the subcontractor’s performance, adherence to all contract terms, and completion of all required project milestones. The University also reserves the right to assess damages for any subcontractor failure to perform.
If you intend to use a subcontractor, please clearly outline their role, deliverables, and project milestones with your bid submittal.
