Janitorial Services for Department of Workforce Development

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Education and Workforce Development Cabinet is seeking janitorial services for multiple Department of Workforce Development locations across five state regions: East, East Central, West, West Central, and South. The Request for Bid (RFB 758 2600000007) solicits vendors to provide comprehensive monthly cleaning services for 34 facilities ranging from 621 to 27,653 square feet in counties including Boyd, Floyd, Letcher, Morgan, Pike, Rowan, Boone, Boyle, and others. Services include regular janitorial maintenance, floor waxing/stripping, and carpet cleaning, with service frequencies varying from 2 to 5 times per week. The procurement will be evaluated using a best value approach, with 95 points allocated to pricing and 5 points to vendor experience. Key dates include a virtual vendor's conference on July 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET, and bid submissions due by July 31, 2025, at 1:30 PM ET through the Kentucky eProcurement system. The initial contract period will run from award through July 31, 2026, with options to extend for six additional one-year periods.

Vendors must be registered in the Commonwealth eProcurement System and possess specific insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate for Commercial General Liability. The Commonwealth intends to award multiple contracts per location, allowing bidders to submit proposals for one or more sites. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, vendors must comply with state regulations including tax registration, accessibility standards, and non-discrimination policies. The solicitation allows for potential contract extension to other state agencies with vendor consent. Although a specific budget range was not explicitly stated, the detailed bid sheet suggests significant potential contract value across the 34 facilities. Vendors will be required to provide their own supplies and equipment, and the contract emphasizes comprehensive cleaning services that meet state government standards. The procurement process is designed to select vendors who can provide high-quality, consistent janitorial services across multiple Kentucky Career Centers and state office locations.
