The School District of Palm Beach County, Florida is requesting bids on a five-year term contract for custodial services and high dusting across multiple school locations under Solicitation No. 27C-9N, with bids due October 8, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid meeting on September 24, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. at Watson B. Duncan Middle School in Palm Beach Gardens.

The District does not recognize SBE certifications from agencies other than itself.

The scope spans two groups. Group A covers daily (five days per week) and weekly custodial services for the School Food Service Department offices and restrooms, including floor vacuuming with HEPA equipment, neutral-cleaner spot mopping, entrance and glass cleaning, outdoor trash removal, and intensive daily disinfection of common touch surfaces using District-approved disinfectants and microfiber cloth towels laundered in hot water. Weekly tasks include auto-scrubbing and burnishing hard floors, baseplate damping, and dusting and wiping horizontal and vertical surfaces throughout offices and conference areas. Group B encompasses high dusting and comprehensive floor cleaning in gymnasiums and auditoriums, with scaffolding access for gymnasiums (approximately 25 feet) and lift equipment for auditoriums (approximately 30 feet), estimated at 20 to 25 high dust cleanings annually.

Required documentation includes business licenses, certificates of authority, references, Beneficial Interest and Disclosure of Ownership Affidavit, E-Verify compliance affidavit, and complaint notification history. All awarded vendors must use the B2GNow compliance reporting system and comply with background check and fingerprinting requirements under the Jessica Lunsford Act. The School Food Service Department supplies cleaning consumables. Pricing shall remain firm for the entire contract period unless documented industry-related cost increases, tariff impacts, or seasonal conditions warrant adjustments with 30 days' prior written notice and District approval. The District will post the bid tabulation and intent to award on October 22, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. EST, followed by a 72-hour protest period. The contract includes a possible 120-day extension beyond the initial five-year term.
