    The American Embassy Nicosia held a pre-quotation conference on November 13, 2025, for Solicitation No. 19CY6026Q0004, concerning janitorial services. Attendees included various facility service companies and Embassy personnel. The purpose was to discuss the work statement, mandatory submission requirements, and clarify issues for offerors. Key areas covered included completing Standard Form 1449, pricing structure for a base year plus four option periods (excluding VAT), the scope of work for janitorial services, contract clauses, solicitation provisions for quotation content, and evaluation factors (lowest priced, technically acceptable, responsible offeror). A site visit was conducted, and all questions received will be addressed in a separate Questions and Answers document. This conference ensures all potential offerors have the necessary information to prepare their bids for the janitorial services contract.
    The American Embassy Nicosia's Janitorial Services Solicitation No. 19CY6026Q0004 provides crucial clarifications regarding janitorial supplies and contractor responsibilities. The U.S. Government will supply pre-installed soap and hand towel dispensers, as well as bins, while the contractor is responsible for providing toilet brushes, which should be of the enclosed type. Air freshener dispensers are not required, and disinfectant spray is strictly for surface cleaning. Paper towels must be 1-ply, white, and interfolded for dispensers, and toilet rolls are jumbo-sized for dispensers. Plastic bags have no specific color or thickness preference, and antibacterial wipes can be any equivalent brand. Clothes detergent is for machine washing of cleaning cloths. Critically, the contractor bears all additional costs if estimated quantities are exceeded. All chemicals must be approved by the Post Occupational and Safety Officer (POSHO), and contractor-supplied tools and machinery require security approval from the Regional Security Office (RSO) when brought onto the compound. Hand gel dispensers will be removed, and there are no special refill soap dispensers. Offerors who missed the pre-quotation conference can still submit a quotation.
