Cleaning & Sanitation Products

The City of Pasadena's Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services - Parks Division is seeking a vendor to provide cleaning and sanitation products through an informal selection procurement process. The solicitation requires bidders to submit comprehensive pricing for specific items including OdoBan Deodorizer/Disinfectant, Waxie Old Fashioned Bubblegum Air Freshener, Waxie White Lanolin Hand Soap, Kleenline Wave 3D Urinal Screen, and Envirox Spray Bottles. The contract will be awarded based on the lowest total price, with pricing valid from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. Vendors must provide unit pricing for 100 cases of certain items and 50 cases of others, along with a flat-rate delivery fee. Bidders are required to confirm Net 30 payment terms, demonstrate ability to deliver within 3 business days, and provide pricing on all line items to be considered responsive. The bid submission deadline is July 25, 2024 at 3:00 pm, with questions accepted until July 18, 2024. Potential vendors must submit their proposals electronically through the city's eProcurement Portal.

The procurement emphasizes local preferences and workforce diversity, with optional vendor questionnaires that capture equal opportunity employment practices and workforce demographics. Vendors must comply with local requirements including the Pasadena Business License ordinance, Living Wage Ordinance, and minimum wage regulations. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly defined, the city encourages recruitment of Pasadena residents and promotes diverse business participation. Bidders must obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov, with failure to submit this identifier potentially rendering the bid non-responsive. The contract appears to be an annual procurement with a potential value covering the city's annual cleaning and sanitation product needs, though specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documentation. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with non-discriminatory hiring practices and be prepared to provide detailed information about their business structure, workforce composition, and ability to meet the city's operational requirements.
