Janitorial Services

The Texas Department of Transportation is soliciting janitorial and custodial services for ten maintenance offices within the Amarillo District, each under 5,000 square feet, with biweekly cleaning required. The contract, identified by solicitation number 601340000066032, has a posting date of July 14, 2026, and a submission deadline of August 13, 2026, with performance expected to commence upon award and run through August 31, 2027, renewable up to August 31, 2030. Services must be performed in accordance with OSHA, EPA, and Green Seal GS-37 standards, while ensuring compliance with Texas Accessibility Standards and cybersecurity training mandates under state law. All work must be conducted by personnel fluent in English, under the direct supervision of an on-site supervisor present at all times, and vendor staff must be verified through E-Verify. Security protocols require annual driver’s license verification, immediate reporting of lost access credentials, and full reimbursement for rekeying or replacement costs. The vendor must submit detailed itemized timesheets, respond promptly to service call backs, and comply with the Texas Public Information Act. The solicitation employs a best value trade-off methodology, not LPTA, with past performance being a disqualifying factor if a vendor received a “C” rating or lower on a prior contract, had a contract terminated for cause, or is under active corrective action. Other evaluation criteria include service quality, life cycle costs, installation and delivery terms, employee training impact, and overall financial responsibility, though no numerical weights are assigned. Contractual obligations extend to subcontractors, who must also adhere to all terms, be paid within ten days of vendor receipt of payment, and meet HUB participation requirements if the contract exceeds $100,000. The vendor must certify compliance with anti-human trafficking, anti-boycott, and foreign adversary restrictions under Texas law, and is prohibited from requiring vaccine passports or discriminating against firearm businesses. Invoicing must be electronic via email, containing the PO number and service details, with no use of federal invoicing systems. Packaging standards require goods to be in first-class condition with no damage accepted, though detailed labeling or preservation specs are absent. All submissions must be in PDF or Excel formats, under 20 MB, and signed, with late or incomplete responses automatically rejected. The point of contact is Graz
