The state of Pennsylvania is seeking janitorial services for the PA State Police, Troop H, Gettysburg Station through an invitation for bid (IFB) posted on October 11, 2018, with proposals due by October 12, 2018. The contract encompasses furnishing all labor, equipment, and materials to perform janitorial services three days per week, with a service period from December 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019. Potential bidders must complete a mandatory Proof of Visit Form, which requires signature from the Station Commander or representative, and submit the form via email or fax by the bid opening date. All bid responses must be submitted electronically through the PA Supplier Portal, and vendors must be registered on the platform to participate. Interested parties are required to monitor the DGS emarketplace website for potential change notices, which will be incorporated into the bid documentation.

This procurement opportunity is exclusively set aside for small businesses, with mandatory self-certification required prior to bid opening. Vendors must obtain a small business certification from www.smallbusiness.pa.gov before submitting a proposal, and contracts will not be issued without a valid certificate. The geographic scope covers Adams County and specifically the Gibraltar Census Designated Place (CDP), focusing on the Gettysburg Station's janitorial needs. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the contract duration of approximately seven months suggests a relatively short-term procurement. The competitive bidding process is designed to ensure that only qualified small businesses capable of meeting the state police facility's cleanliness and maintenance standards will be considered for the contract award.
