Custodial Supplies

Laramie County School District Number One (LCSD1) is soliciting bids for an open-end annual contract for custodial supplies through Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 25CB4006. The procurement encompasses a comprehensive range of 65 line items including cleaning chemicals, personal protective equipment, paper products, floor care items, dispensers, and waste management equipment. Specific products include gloves, cleaning supplies, floor pads, mops, liners, soap dispensers, disinfectants, white board cleaners, vacuum bags, and specialized cleaning tools. The contract will run from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, with potential renewals for up to two additional years. Bids are due on November 13, 2024, at 2:00 p.m., with bid opening occurring at 2810 House Avenue, Room 118 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The district will evaluate bids based on multiple factors, not solely on lowest price, and reserves the right to award by individual items or item groups. Vendors must provide pricing FOB Cheyenne, with a maximum of two decimal places per unit and a per-item price cap of $12.67.

The solicitation includes cooperative purchasing language, allowing other school districts, governmental agencies, and non-profit organizations to potentially utilize the contract. Vendors must comply with Wyoming sales tax regulations, provide safety data sheets, and meet O.S.H.A. standards and Consumer Product Safety Commission regulations. The bid allows for multiple manufacturers and suppliers for most items, with specific performance criteria and alternative manufacturer options. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bid includes detailed specifications for product quality, including requirements for mil thickness, health ratings, chemical composition, and surface compatibility. The comprehensive nature of the bid suggests a potential annual contract value in the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on actual usage quantities. The solicitation requires vendors to have been in business for at least one year and maintain the capacity to handle typical orders, with additional requirements for ethical conduct and compliance with district procurement policies.
