001-PUR-2025 Warehouse Restock of Custodial Supplies

This state and local contracting opportunity is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by the Dougherty County School System (DCSS) in Georgia for the Warehouse Restock of Custodial Supplies. The RFQ seeks proposals from qualified vendors to provide a variety of custodial supplies, including trash can liners, paper towels, cleaning chemicals, and other related products, to restock the district's warehouse. The contract period is from July 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. Sealed proposals will be received until May 14, 2024 at 11:00 AM, and bidders must submit samples packaged together with their proposals. Deliveries will be made to the district's warehouse in Albany, Georgia, Monday through Friday, except school holidays and closing days. The RFQ outlines pricing terms, bidder qualifications, background check requirements, and special instructions. Vendors must provide a valid FCC Service Provider ID Number (SPIN) as the district anticipates using supportive funding from the Federal Universal Service Fund (E-Rate).

The RFQ includes a local preference where a Dougherty County supplier can match the lowest responsive bid. There are no specific set-aside requirements, but the district encourages participation from minority, women, and disadvantaged business enterprises. The current incumbent vendor is CleanCo, Inc., and the estimated annual value of the contract is $2.5 million. The pricing for the contract will be based on a fixed-rate per unit for each item, and the school system will award the bid on a line item basis.
