About this opportunity

Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS), the nation's seventh-largest school system, is seeking proposals for a comprehensive custodial supplies contract through RFP 25057-MST. The solicitation covers an extensive range of products including cleaning supplies, chemicals, janitorial equipment, consumable items like tissue and soap products, facility maintenance supplies, safety supplies, and related software platforms. HCPS requires vendors to provide supply management, inventory control systems, and training services, with a specific interest in a digital catalog system enabling web-based purchasing. The RFP mandates that proposers demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience providing custodial supplies, authorization to do business in Florida, and E-Verify compliance. Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: Specifications/Scope of Work (25 points), Qualifications and Experience/Required Forms (35 points), and Cost/Value (40 points). Key dates include a technical question deadline of September 25, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST, with proposals due October 9, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST, and an estimated award date of December 9, 2025. The initial contract term is one year with potential automatic renewals for up to four consecutive one-year terms.

HCPS has implemented a Small Business Encouragement Program (SBEP) that provides opportunities for certified small local businesses, with potential additional evaluation points for vendors utilizing OSD-registered SBEP subcontractors. The program requires prime vendors to document SBEP subcontractor utilization through a Letter of Intent, specifying vendor details, service descriptions, and allocated contract percentages. Vendors must be registered in the OSD vendor directory at myvendorlink.com/agencies/sdhc/vendordirectory to participate. Historical expenditure data indicates annual spending of $4,459,143 from state and local sources and $133,416 from federal sources for similar commodities. The solicitation includes federal funding compliance requirements, with provisions for domestic preference, small and minority business inclusion, and various procurement standards based on contract value thresholds. While multiple vendors were identified in previous bid tabulations, including Clean Sweep Supply Co., Grainger, and Gem Supply Inc., the most recent Notice of Intent indicates HCPS may reject all proposals and seek alternative procurement methods, such as utilizing the OMNIA Group Purchasing Organization master agreement.
