Vehicle Washing for the City of Little Rock- 2026

The City of Little Rock is seeking a comprehensive vehicle washing and detailing services contract for its Fleet Services Department through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) released on November 25, 2025. The procurement covers routine and specialized cleaning services for light-duty and medium-duty vehicles and equipment, including exterior wash options, interior cleaning, and full detailing services. Vendors must operate a facility located within a 15-mile radius of City operations and provide services such as drive-thru standard and brushless washing, express clean, vacuuming, carpet cleaning, and full detailing. Key deliverables include service documentation by license plate and unit number, monthly service summary reports, and before-and-after photo documentation for preventive maintenance washes. Vendor questions are due by December 9, 2025, at 3:00 PM, with bid submissions required through the LRPROCURE portal by December 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM. A virtual bid opening meeting is scheduled for the same day at 10:00 AM via Microsoft Teams, with award to be made to the lowest qualified bidder meeting all specified requirements.

Vendors must possess a valid Arkansas business license and carry comprehensive insurance, including $1,000,000 in general liability, personal injury, and property damage coverage. The City encourages participation from minority-owned and women-owned businesses as defined by Arkansas Code Annotated 15-4-303. Vendors must complete a Combined Certification for Contracting form, affirming non-participation in boycotts of Israel, energy, fossil fuel, firearms, and ammunition industries. Contracts valued at different thresholds have specific certification requirements, with provisions for contracts over $1,000, $25,000, and $75,000. While no specific contract value is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the services and the City's sizeable fleet of over 2,500 employees across 16 departments suggests a potentially significant contract opportunity. Vendors must comply with environmental regulations, including EPA and ADEQ wastewater requirements, and submit to quality assurance inspections by Fleet Services staff.
