KEJANI27SB - Janitorial services for MDOT SHA Chestertown (Eastern Shore)

The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) is seeking janitorial services for its Chestertown facility located on the Eastern Shore. The procurement opportunity, identified as KEJANI27SB, is specifically focused on expanding janitorial coverage from 108 to 216 crew-days over a two-year period. Services will be performed twice weekly by a two-person crew, operating during regular hours from 8 AM to 12 PM, with potential for preapproved alternative timing. Vendors must demonstrate a minimum of three years of commercial janitorial experience to be considered eligible. A mandatory facility tour is required for all potential bidders, which must be completed within two weeks preceding the bid opening. MDOT SHA will provide trash disposal services and cleaning chemicals sourced from Blind Industries and Services of Maryland. The contract opportunity is located within Kent County and the Choptank Census Designated Place (CDP), with a posting and due date of July 15, 2025.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the requirement to use cleaning chemicals from Blind Industries and Services of Maryland suggests potential support for a sheltered workshop or nonprofit organization. The procurement appears to prioritize local vendors with substantial janitorial experience who can meet the specific operational requirements of the MDOT SHA Chestertown facility. The scalable nature of the contract, expanding from 108 to 216 crew-days, indicates potential for ongoing and increasing service needs. Although precise budget ranges are not specified, the comprehensive service requirements suggest a contract value that would reflect twice-weekly janitorial services for a state highway administration facility. Prospective vendors should carefully review the facility tour requirements and ensure compliance with the three-year commercial janitorial experience prerequisite to be competitive in this procurement opportunity.
