Cleaning & Sanitation Products

The Los Angeles County Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services - Parks Division is seeking a vendor to provide cleaning and sanitation products through an informal selection process. The procurement targets 12 distinct product types including all-purpose cleaners, odor removers, floor cleaners, disinfectant cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners, urinal cleaners/filters, glass cleaners, degreasers, stainless steel cleaners, hand soap, and urinal screens. Vendors must submit electronic bids through the City's eProcurement Portal, with the solicitation released on May 22, 2023, and a proposal submission deadline of May 30, 2023 at 2:00 pm. The primary evaluation criterion is the lowest Grand Total Price, with award being made to the most cost-effective bidder. Vendors are required to provide unit costs for each product type, with total quantities ranging from 25 to 100 units per item, and must confirm the ability to deliver materials within 5 business days to the Parks Division location. The contract term will run from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, and includes a 10.25% sales tax on all products.

The procurement appears open to all vendors, with an emphasis on local preferences and equal employment opportunities. Vendors must submit several supplementary documents, including a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov, vendor questionnaires, tax identification documents, and business licenses. The City of Pasadena demonstrates a commitment to workforce diversity, with optional forms documenting the vendor's current workforce composition and equal employment practices. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the documentation suggests potential preference for small or micro businesses. The solicitation encourages recruitment of Pasadena residents for any new positions resulting from the contract. Although a specific budget range is not detailed, the comprehensive product list and one-year contract duration suggest a moderate-value procurement focused on maintaining the Parks Division's cleaning and sanitation needs. Vendors must also complete a Relevant Experience Form to demonstrate previous project capabilities in similar procurement contexts.
