The Department of Public Safety of Texas is seeking sealed bids for janitorial services at its Weatherford office located at 1309 South Bowie Drive, with the solicitation number 405-26R0016900 issued on April 30, 2026, and responses due by May 22, 2026. The contract is structured as a five-year procurement under a Firm Fixed Price model, covering service periods from September 1, 2028, through August 31, 2031, with potential for extension. Services must be performed five days per week between 4:00 PM and 12:00 AM, involving routine cleaning, adherence to pandemic-specific infection control protocols outlined in attached documents, and compliance with Texas Government Code provisions on performance measurement and accountability. All personnel must pass fingerprint-based background checks, complete the DPS Contractor Background Information form, and wear issued identification while on site. The contractor is responsible for supplying all cleaning materials and maintaining detailed logs for performance verification by DPS monitors. The procurement requires submission of a four-volume proposal, including mandatory forms such as the W-9, Direct Deposit Authorization, and financial solvency documentation, with pricing provided in a standardized template that currently contains no dollar amounts. Evaluation is based on a best-value trade-off approach considering past performance rated no lower than C in the Vendor Performance Tracking System, financial stability verified via audited statements and D&B reports, and full responsiveness to all mandatory requirements. Key personnel must be identified with resumes and prior DPS approval is required for any assignments or substitutions. Contractors must indemnify DPS against claims, maintain records for seven years post-contract, and comply with Texas-specific certifications including HUB status, cybersecurity training, lobbying disclosures, and prohibitions on deceptive trade practices. All submissions must be digital, preferably in PDF format with electronic bookmarks, and sent through the DPS Online Bid Room or designated email; late or incomplete proposals will be rejected. No contract value has been disclosed due to incomplete pricing fields, and payment will be processed electronically via direct deposit under the Texas Prompt Payment Act without reference to specific invoicing platforms or accounting classification codes.
