Inquiry for Missoula Janitorial Services

The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for basic janitorial services in a small Missoula County office setting. The RFI, numbered DEQ-RFI2026-0215, seeks market research input to determine whether janitorial services should be performed in-house or contracted externally. Vendors are required to submit comprehensive responses addressing their interest, past experience, project components, potential risks, and detailed cost estimates for the period of January 13, 2026, through December 31, 2026. Respondents must complete a cost estimation table with a grand total for calendar year 2026 on a lump-sum basis and answer six specific questions that probe their capabilities and approach. The RFI opened on January 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM MST and closes on January 9, 2026, at 2:00 PM MST, with responses to be evaluated under commodity code 0606 for Building Maintenance - Janitorial Services. Evaluation will focus on vendors' ability to meet the Scope of Work, demonstrate relevant experience, and provide comprehensive cost breakdowns.

The RFI does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The procurement is structured as a market research tool and will not result in a direct contract award. Payment terms are specified as net 30 days with 0% financing. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the RFI suggests vendors should provide a comprehensive cost estimate for a full calendar year of janitorial services in a small office setting. Vendors interested in responding must comply with Montana prevailing wage requirements and submit their information through the designated channels. The primary point of contact for this RFI is Rebecca Gregg, who can be reached at Rebecca.Gregg@mt.gov or +1 406-444-3101. The document emphasizes that this RFI is solely for gathering market intelligence to inform DEQ's strategic resource allocation decisions, and not a formal solicitation for services.
