Fayette County Public Schools in Georgia is issuing Request for Proposals (RFP 26-024-075) to solicit firm pricing for the provision and delivery of paper products and janitorial supplies to 28 school and administrative locations throughout the county on a monthly basis. The procurement requires suppliers to provide specific branded items including Tork toilet paper and hand towels, KleenLine hand soap, various trash bags in multiple gauges and sizes, nitrile gloves in four sizes, and 3M and Americo floor cleaning pads, with several items designated as brand-specific with no alternatives permitted while others allow non-branded equivalents meeting specified dimensions and gauges. All deliveries must be completed via tailgate delivery during regular school operating hours. Qualified respondents must submit proposals organized with a letter of interest, technical proposal, qualifications and experience section, references, and a separate cost proposal with line-item pricing for each item. Minimum requirements include three letters of recommendation from clients served within the previous two years, a completed Solicitation Response Form, Business Capability Questionnaire, current Certificate of Insurance naming the school district as additional insured, IRS W-9 Form, and completed E-Verify compliance documentation with notarized affidavits. The evaluation committee will use an excellence/good/fair/poor rubric with cost weighted on a scale where the lowest bid receives maximum points, and interviews and presentations may be required at the committee's discretion. Critical deadlines include April 14, 2026 for respondent questions, April 17, 2026 for addenda issuance, and April 22, 2026 at 9:00 AM Eastern Time for proposal submission, with the contract running from the award date through June 30, 2027, and options to renew for three additional one-year terms.

No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the available materials. The procurement allows cooperative purchasing by other Fayette County government entities at the same quoted prices, though no substitutions or alternates are permitted after award without expressed evaluation and consent of the school district.
