Cleaning Service (Fargo Office)

The North Dakota University System (NDUS) is seeking bids for weekly cleaning services for their Fargo, North Dakota office through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) process. The contract period is from August 1, 2024, to July 31, 2025, with the option to extend for up to nine additional one-year terms. The required cleaning services include tasks such as emptying garbage, vacuuming floors, cleaning and sanitizing conference tables and counters, cleaning the microwave, cleaning office door windows, dusting work surfaces, and cleaning floor corners and edges. Bids must be submitted electronically through the State Procurement Online system by May 30, 2024, and the contract will be awarded to the responsible bidder with the lowest priced responsive bid. Pricing shall be firm-fixed for the first year, with the option for price adjustments upon contract renewal.

The IFB and amendment provide responses to questions from potential bidders regarding the scope of work, including the number of trash cans, conference room tables, the total square footage of the space, and the lack of bathrooms to be cleaned. No onsite visit will be held, and vendors must acknowledge receipt and compliance with the amendment. The Notice of Intent to Award indicates that three vendors submitted responses, and the contract is intended to be awarded to Budding Stars. The document does not provide details on set-asides, incumbents, funding requirements, or other salient financial information.
