This is a Request for Bid (RFB-25-02) issued by the Rensselaer County Bureau of Central Services for cleaning products, chemicals, solutions, and janitorial supplies. The bid is for a six-month contract period from January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025, with bids to be received until 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, November 7, 2024. All items must be bid in order to be considered responsive, and partial bids will not be accepted. The county requires that the awarded vendor have an office location within a 50-mile radius of the Rensselaer County Office Building in East Greenbush, New York, or have an additional office within that radius.

The bid specifies that pricing must remain firm for the six-month award period, with no price changes allowed. Rensselaer County reserves the right to purchase products from New York State Contracts, other county contracts, or government purchasing cooperatives if pricing is lower. Bidders must provide detailed product information, and substitutions will be carefully evaluated. The county may reject bids from vendors with documented poor performance and will require successful bidders to provide usage reporting. No bid surety is required, and the award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder meeting Rensselaer County specifications, with consideration given to the bidder's reliability, quality of commodity, and fair bidding practices.
