The State of Illinois Central Management Services is soliciting bids for twice-weekly janitorial services at facility L5608, 301 South Date Street, Gibson City, Illinois, under a Small Business Set-Aside program, with bids due August 25, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CDT. Eligibility is restricted to vendors registered in the Small Business Set-Aside Program at the time of bid submission — this is a hard filter, not a preference.

The scope includes restroom cleaning with disinfectants, floor mopping and vacuuming, wastebasket emptying, recycling collection, mirror cleaning, and lunchroom sanitization performed twice weekly on Wednesdays and Fridays after normal business hours. Weekly duties include entryway glass cleaning, outdoor debris removal, tile spray buffing, and window ledge dusting. Semi-annual tasks include carpet shampooing, blind washing, window cleaning, and tile stripping and refinishing. The vendor must complete a minimum of 28 hours per month, with at least 21 hours dedicated to daily tasks, and must submit a detailed working plan within five days of contract execution. All janitorial supplies, equipment, and materials must be environmentally preferable products certified by Green Seal, Environmental Choice Ecologo, or EPA Design for the Environment standards.

The contract term runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2031, with a maximum initial term of ten years including any renewals or extensions. Contract pricing is estimated and will be specified by the State prior to execution. Vendors must pay prevailing wages as required by Illinois law and maintain General Commercial Liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence with $2 million annual aggregate, Auto Liability of $1 million per occurrence, and Workers' Compensation Insurance as required by law, naming the State as additionally insured. Subcontracting is prohibited.

A mandatory pre-bid walk-through is scheduled for Wednesday, August 12, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. CDT, conducted by location contact Jeffery Calhoun (217.278.3447). Late arrivals and early departures are not permitted. Vendors must complete the Standard Illinois Certifications document and submit a TIN form prior to award.
