Janitorial Supplies and Cleaning Chemicals

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is seeking a one-year contract with two one-year optional renewal periods, not to exceed three years total, for the procurement of janitorial supplies and cleaning chemicals that meet the OS1 cleaning methodology. The University requires portion-sized packaging to facilitate quick refills without returning to a bulk storage area. The IFB lists 52 line items including chemical products, equipment, and accessories such as mops, buckets, and vacuums. Bids are due by May 24, 2024 at 3:00 PM. The award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting the specifications. Pricing must be FOB destination with all transportation costs included, and the University is exempt from North Carolina sales and use tax. Vendors are required to provide warranty information, references, and samples or product demonstrations if requested. Payment terms are net 30 days after receipt of a correct invoice or acceptance of the products or services.

The IFB does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total award value is not specified, but the University is seeking a long-term contract for a wide range of janitorial supplies and cleaning chemicals.
