Vendors must submit a pricing form with monthly unit prices for both grease trap pumping and sewage pump station cleaning, and are required to provide three customer references, complete a financial condition certification, and demonstrate compliance with the Department of Adult Correction's workplace policies.

The state has established a goal of 10% participation by Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs), which includes minority, women, and disabled-owned businesses, as first or second-tier subcontractors. Vendors must comply with the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) standards and the department's alcohol/drug-free workplace policy.

The procurement is open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications and demonstrate the capability to consistently perform the required monthly maintenance services. Although no incumbent vendors are mentioned, potential bidders should be prepared to showcase their technical expertise in grease trap and sewage pump station maintenance, with a focus on reliable, professional service delivery for correctional facility environments.
