What the buyer needs
AI summaryButte County Purchasing Services seeks bids for countywide janitorial supplies across five categories: chemicals, gloves, hand soap, can liners, and paper products. Onshore organizations in the United States may submit bids, and bidders must provide pricing for all items within any category they choose to bid on an all-or-nothing basis. Bidders must submit questions in writing through PublicPurchase.com by November 19, 2026, and the County will post answers via an addendum by November 25, 2026. Bids are due before 02:30 PM on December 3, 2026, either by delivering the original to Butte County Purchasing Services in Oroville, California, or by uploading electronically to Public Purchase. The County will evaluate each category separately by totaling extended prices based on estimated annual quantities and intends to award Managed Procurement Contracts to multiple suppliers. Unit pricing must remain firm for the first twelve months, and the County may extend contracts for one-year terms at its discretion.
