The State of Illinois, Central Management Services, is requesting bids for five-day janitorial services with day porters at facility L6915, 211 Dixie Highway, Chicago Heights, Illinois, under IFB B-53086, with bids due July 22, 2026. This procurement is restricted to vendors registered in the Illinois Small Business Set-Aside Program at the time of bid submission — a hard eligibility gate.

The scope requires two day porters working Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., performing daily restroom cleaning with specified disinfectants, floor mopping and vacuuming, wastebasket and waste removal, recycling management, wall mark removal, and break room cleaning. Twice-weekly services include entryway glass and outdoor debris removal. Weekly services include spray buffing tile, dusting windows and ledges, and washing partition glass. Semi-annual services include carpet shampooing, blind washing, window washing, and floor stripping and refinishing. The vendor must provide all supplies and equipment and complete a minimum of 132 hours per month. All cleaning products must be certified under Green Seal, Environmental Choice Ecologo, or EPA Design for the Environment standards. Subcontracting is prohibited. Prevailing wage requirements apply under 30 ILCS 500/25-60.

The contract term runs from August 1, 2026, through November 30, 2030, with no renewal options. Insurance requirements include $1 million General Commercial Liability per occurrence with $2 million annual aggregate, $1 million Auto Liability per occurrence, and Workers' Compensation as required by law.

A mandatory pre-bid walk-through is scheduled for July 14, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. CDT at the facility; failure to attend disqualifies the bid. Bids will be evaluated solely on lowest overall total price. Bid bonds and performance bonds are not required. Bids must remain firm for 180 days from opening. A $15 administrative fee applies to awards of $1,000 or more, deducted from the vendor's first payment. Vendors must be actively registered in the Illinois Procurement Gateway at bid opening to remain responsive.
