The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically the Office of Attorney General's Criminal Law Division located in State College, is seeking a janitorial services contractor for a 12-month initial contract term, with potential renewals for up to four additional one-year periods and a possible three-month extension. The procurement is structured as an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for comprehensive janitorial services, with a mandatory site visit originally scheduled for June 21, 2018, for potential bidders who have not attended a site visit within the previous 30 days. Bids were due by June 28, 2018, at 10:00 AM, with bidders required to submit a total bid amount quoted FOB destination. The solicitation encompasses a complete janitorial service package, likely including cleaning, sanitization, waste management, and maintenance of the Attorney General's office space. Bidders must complete mandatory questions regarding representations and authorizations, and submit required attachments that outline the statement of work, terms and conditions, and background investigation requirements.

The procurement documents do not explicitly indicate any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises or minority-owned businesses. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that would require integration. Similarly, the solicitation does not specify a precise budget range or total contract value for the janitorial services. The contract opportunity spans jurisdictions including Centre County and Terre Hill Borough in Pennsylvania, suggesting a localized service requirement. Potential bidders were advised to carefully review all solicitation requirements and contact the Commonwealth Purchasing Professional for any necessary clarifications before submitting their response. The opportunity was posted on the Pennsylvania Supplier Portal, requiring vendors to navigate the online bidding system and follow specific electronic submission protocols for their bid packages.
