Steam Cleaning Kitchen Exhaust System - Statewide

The State of Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) is procuring steam cleaning services for the kitchen exhaust systems at its correctional facilities statewide. The contract requires vendors to regularly steam clean and wash the exhaust systems, conduct mechanical checks of the blowers, provide certification stickers, and clean up any affected areas. Vendors may submit proposals regionally (northern or southern Nevada) or on a statewide basis. The contract term is anticipated to run from August 11, 2021 through August 31, 2025, with an option to extend for two additional years. Mandatory site visits for interested vendors have been scheduled in May 2021, and proposals are due by June 8, 2021. The evaluation criteria include demonstrated competence, relevant experience, conformance to the RFP terms, expertise of key personnel, and cost, which is weighted at 20% of the total score.

The contract opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent contractor is ProtoKleen, Inc., who has been awarded the contract for an initial amount of $111,900.00. While the RFP indicates the anticipated contract amount is $150,000, the actual award value may vary based on the proposed pricing from the selected vendor(s). The contract requires adherence to NDOC security regulations, background checks, and the agency's Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) zero tolerance policy.
