Commercial Kitchen Hood Cleaning

The North Dakota Veterans Home has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for commercial kitchen hood cleaning services in Ransom County, seeking comprehensive cleaning for seven commercial kitchen hoods across multiple locations. The procurement involves steam cleaning all vents, fans, filters, and ductwork for six satellite household kitchen hoods (sized 8x4x3 feet) and one main kitchen hood (sized 22x4x3 feet), with cleaning required twice annually starting in April 2025. Bidders must submit firm-fixed pricing for a two-year contract term, with potential for two additional 24-month renewal periods. The solicitation requires contractors to provide detailed cleaning services for stainless steel kitchen hoods, with bid responses due on December 12, 2024, at 2:00 PM Central Time. Potential bidders must submit any questions by December 5, 2024, at 3:00 PM Central Time, and all pricing must be submitted in U.S. currency, inclusive of all discounts and deductions, while excluding federal and state taxes due to the agency's tax-exempt status.

The contract appears to be open to all qualifying vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on business type. The procurement will be available for use by North Dakota state agencies and institutions, suggesting potential broader utilization beyond the initial scope. No specific incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and no explicit budget range or award value is provided in the solicitation. The contract allows for potential price adjustments 30 days before each renewal period, providing flexibility for contractors to address cost variations. While no specific technical infrastructure integration requirements are detailed, the cleaning services must meet the precise specifications for the seven kitchen hoods, which are all described as stainless steel. The two-year base contract with potential 24-month renewals indicates a strategic approach to maintaining long-term service continuity for the North Dakota Veterans Home's kitchen facilities.
