Tennessee Cleaning and Maintenance Services Contract

This is a Tennessee Cleaning Alliance (TCA) procurement document issued by the State of Tennessee outlining cleaning and maintenance services requirements. The TCA is a consortium purchasing agreement designed to provide cleaning, janitorial, and facility maintenance services across multiple state agencies and eligible public entities throughout Tennessee. The procurement seeks vendors capable of delivering comprehensive cleaning services including floor care, restroom maintenance, trash removal, and general facility sanitation. The solicitation establishes a master agreement framework allowing participating state agencies and authorized public entities to issue task orders for specific cleaning and maintenance needs. Response deadlines and award timelines are established within the document to ensure timely vendor selection and contract execution. The contract term extends for an initial period with potential renewal options available to accommodate ongoing state facility maintenance requirements across multiple locations and departments.

The pricing structure requires vendors to submit competitive bids on a unit-price or task-order basis depending on specific agency requirements, with costs evaluated against quality standards and service delivery capabilities. The agreement may include set-asides for minority-owned, women-owned, or small business enterprises as applicable under Tennessee procurement regulations. The procurement is funded through individual agency budgets and departmental operational accounts, with each participating entity responsible for their respective cleaning and maintenance expenses incurred through task orders issued under the master agreement. Vendor selection prioritizes competitive pricing, demonstrated experience in institutional facility cleaning, adequate insurance coverage, and ability to meet state performance standards and compliance requirements.
