Bid submissions are due by 3:00 PM CT on Tuesday, June 25, 2025, with a planned service commencement date of September 1, 2025. The contract includes a base period of one year with options to renew for four additional one-year terms through August 31, 2030, and requires vendors to maintain specific insurance coverages including commercial general liability and workers' compensation.

While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, vendors must adhere to strict state procurement requirements, including E-Verify compliance and various legislative certifications. The solicitation covers approximately 37,007,446 square feet across multiple facilities, indicating a substantial scope of service. Pricing must remain firm throughout the contract year, with the Department reserving the right to amend the purchase order if service area square footage changes.
