PSP Fogelsville & BIPS-IAD Janitorial

The state of Pennsylvania, specifically Lehigh County, is seeking janitorial services for the PA State Police, Troop M Fogelsville Station and BIPS-IAD through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) posted on February 5, 2019, with responses due by February 13, 2019. The procurement involves furnishing all labor, equipment, and materials to perform janitorial services three days per week, with a contract period from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2022. Bidders are required to complete a Proof of Visit Form, which must be signed by the Station Commander or representative and the vendor, demonstrating a site visit and understanding of the facility's requirements. Only electronic bid responses will be accepted, and vendors must register on the PA Supplier Portal (www.pasupplierportal.state.pa.us) to submit a bid. Potential bidders are advised to monitor the DGS emarketplace website for any change notices, which will become incorporated into the bid. Questions regarding the solicitation should be emailed to LBOBITZ@PA.GOV.

This procurement opportunity is specifically set aside for Small Businesses, requiring vendors to self-certify through www.smallbusiness.pa.gov prior to the bid opening date. Interested vendors must obtain a vendor number and complete registration on the PA Supplier Portal to submit an online bid. The small business set-aside restricts participation to companies that meet the state's small business certification criteria, potentially providing opportunities for smaller, local enterprises to compete for the contract. While specific budget ranges or award values are not explicitly stated in the solicitation, the contract covers janitorial services for a two-year period across two state police facilities. The procurement process emphasizes transparency and equal opportunity for small businesses, with a structured approach to bid submission, site visits, and vendor qualification. Potential bidders should carefully review the general specifications and ensure full compliance with all requirements to be considered for the janitorial services contract.
