Janitorial supplies - central stores

Clinton County is soliciting sealed bids for janitorial and office supplies for the Central Stores Department for the 2025 fiscal year. The procurement seeks unit pricing for a comprehensive range of products including paper towels, tissues, cleaning products, gloves, and related janitorial items. Quarterly orders are planned for January, April, July, and October 2025, with bidders expected to deliver items within 30 days of order placement. The bid opening is scheduled for November 7, 2024, at 11:00 AM, with vendors required to submit detailed pricing and comply with specific brand name and packaging requirements. Key qualifications include providing Material Safety Data Sheets, maintaining bid pricing for potential additional orders, and demonstrating past performance through vendor references. Evaluation criteria appear to include compliance with legal requirements, product specifications, and delivery capabilities. Vendors must also adhere to non-discrimination policies, sexual harassment prevention standards, and the Iran Divestment Act.

The procurement allows potential contract participation by other municipal and non-profit organizations, suggesting a broad competitive opportunity. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bid indicates the county may award portions of the contract to multiple vendors. The county provides no minimum purchase guarantee and will not pay fuel surcharges, with all pricing required to include delivery to the Clinton County Central Stores located in the Government Center basement in Plattsburgh. Though a specific budget range is not provided, the quarterly ordering structure and potential multi-vendor award suggest flexibility in procurement strategy. Vendors should be prepared to provide comprehensive pricing, meet legal compliance standards, and demonstrate capability to fulfill large-scale, systematic supply requirements for a county government's central stores operation.
