About this opportunity

The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse is seeking bids for temporary custodial staffing services through a competitive Request for Bid (RFB) process, specifically designated as UWL-2402-A. The procurement is being conducted by the University's Purchasing Services Department on behalf of its Custodial Services Department, targeting temporary workforce solutions for campus cleaning and maintenance operations. Potential bidders must submit electronic responses via the ShopUW+ Sourcing Event Module, with all proposals due by January 31, 2024. Key submission requirements include addressing any significant ambiguities or discrepancies in the RFB by January 19, 2024, at 4:30 PM, and all questions must be submitted through the designated Sourcing Module. The procurement's primary contact is Kurtis Bock (kbock@uwlax.edu), and direct contact with other University employees is strictly prohibited to maintain procurement integrity. Bidders are advised that any discovered errors in the RFB documents must be reported promptly, with the understanding that failure to do so may preclude additional compensation or time adjustments if a contract is awarded.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the available documentation. The procurement appears to be an open competitive bid without predefined limitations on vendor types or sizes. While the Questions and Answers amendment did not provide detailed information about incumbent vendors or specific budget ranges, the document suggests the University is seeking a flexible temporary staffing arrangement with clear expectations for contractor performance and recruitment practices. The University emphasized that it follows merit-based recruiting and cannot direct-hire contractor staff based on predefined employment periods. Additional details about precise contract value, expected staffing volumes, or duration were not comprehensively outlined in the provided materials. Interested vendors should carefully review the full RFB documentation and be prepared to demonstrate their capability to provide reliable, high-quality temporary custodial staffing services to meet the University's operational needs.
