Janitorial Services for DEQ

The State of Arkansas, through the Department of Transformation and Shared Services Office of State Procurement (TSS OSP), is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) on behalf of the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment (ADEE) for Janitorial Services at the Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ) building located in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The IFB requests pricing and a contract for approximately 110,000 square feet of janitorial services, including daily, weekly, monthly, semi-annual, and annual services. A mandatory site visit is required for any prospective contractors that did not attend the initial site visit. Bids are due by December 20, 2022, and the initial contract term is for one year with up to six additional one-year renewal options. The IFB provides detailed requirements for the janitorial services, including use of certified green cleaning products, staffing levels, background checks, insurance, and performance standards. Pricing must be submitted through the state's eProcurement system and include all associated costs. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on an all-or-none basis.

The IFB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor or current contractor is not identified. The IFB also does not provide any information on the possible award value or budget range for the contract opportunity. Prospective contractors must certify that they do not employ or contract with illegal immigrants and that they do not boycott Israel.
