Dietary Hood Cleaning

The State of Illinois is requesting quotations for semi-annual dietary oven hood cleaning services with quotations due October 20, 2026. No subcontracting is allowed.

This is a small-purchase RFQ subject to Illinois prevailing wage requirements, which establish the labor-cost floor for any responsive bid. Vendors must comply with the State of Illinois Standard Certifications (Version 26.2), which encompass 34 distinct certification categories including legal entity status, drug-free workplace compliance, anti-discrimination provisions, environmental compliance, procurement integrity, cybersecurity compliance, labor standards, and domestic product preferences. Vendors on multi-year contracts must recertify annually by January 1 or document changes affecting eligibility. Non-compliance carries penalties including contract voidance, vendor suspension or debarment, and potential civil or criminal liability under the Illinois False Claims Act.

The scope consists of two cleaning cycles per contract year for dietary oven hoods at a state facility. The specific location and contract term are not identified in the posted materials. A $15 minority contractor initiative fee applies to contracts valued at $1,000 or more under applicable Illinois Procurement Code sections.

The State reserves the right to terminate for cause with immediate notice or for convenience with thirty days' written notice. General commercial liability insurance of $1,000,000 is required. Records must be retained for three years (or five years if federal funds are used). Invoicing deadlines are July 31 for services rendered through June 30, and payment is governed by the Illinois Prompt Payment Act.
