Janitorial Supplies

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) is soliciting competitive, sealed responses for a Blanket Purchase Order contract to procure janitorial supplies, parts, and equipment for its facilities. The procurement specifically covers six product groups: urinal screens, hand soaps, recycling bags, clear can liners, toilet paper, and paper towels, to be used across multiple GOAA-owned properties including Orlando International Airport (MCO), the MCO Train Station, and satellite buildings. The contract will have a 12-month term, anticipated to start on or about October 1, 2024, with quantities based on historical usage from the previous year. Evaluation criteria will focus on lowest cost and best value, with GOAA reserving the right to make awards to multiple respondents or limit the number of awards. Respondents must be registered in Florida, provide proof of insurability, and submit references from similar service clients within the past five years. The due date for responses is August 26, 2024, and the solicitation (IFB 24-513-IFB) allows bidders to submit responses for all or some items, with pricing to remain firm throughout the contract duration.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, the solicitation emphasizes competitive pricing and comprehensive documentation. The procurement process includes multiple review stages involving Purchasing Agents, Authorized Representatives, Small Business Development, Risk Management, and Legal Counsel. Though no incumbent vendors are identified, the contract allows for potential purchase extensions to other governmental agencies under the same pricing and conditions. The Aviation Authority exclusively reserves the right to award contracts in whole, in part, or in any combination deemed most advantageous, which suggests flexibility in contract allocation. While a specific budget range is not provided, the contract is structured as a firm/fixed price agreement, indicating predictable pricing for the selected vendor(s). Substitutions are generally not permitted, and respondents must provide detailed product specifications, with some product groups allowing limited alternative options.
