✅ GOOD FIT

Oregon State Police — John Day Janitorial Services

Agency: Oregon State Police

Location: John Day, Oregon

Solicitation: S-25700-00017861

Proposal Due: September 17, 2026 at 4:00 PM

Contract Term: 5 years, with renewal options potentially extending to 10 years

Fit Score: 8/10

Scope: Provide janitorial and custodial services for the Oregon State Police John Day Area Command. The contract includes recurring monthly janitorial services as well as hourly pricing for exceptional and emergency services. Certain consumable restroom and facility supplies are reimbursable at contractor cost.

Why We Like It: The State recently extended the deadline because only one bid had been received. There is no required on-site walkthrough, quotes are submitted electronically through OregonBuys, and the initial contract term is five years. That combination makes this particularly interesting for a qualified Oregon cleaning company that can move quickly.

Watch-Out: Contractors must be registered in OregonBuys to receive an award. The solicitation also asks for three similar-service references, company experience information, start-date availability, and proof of required insurance before award.

⭐ STRONG FIT

Olympic National Forest — Cabin Cleaning Services

Agency: USDA Forest Service

Location: Olympic Peninsula, Washington

Solicitation: 1240BD26Q0008

Proposal Due: October 8, 2026

Questions Due: September 16, 2026

Set-Aside: Total Small Business

Fit Score: 9/10

Scope: Provide custodial cleaning services for three recreation cabins on the Olympic National Forest. The contractor is responsible for personnel, supervision, supplies, tools, materials, equipment, transportation, and other items needed to perform the work.

Why We Like It: This is reserved for small businesses and has a relatively straightforward cleaning scope. The later proposal deadline also gives contractors more time to review the requirements and build realistic travel and labor costs into their quote.

Watch-Out: The cabins are located in different parts of the Olympic Peninsula, so travel time and route logistics matter. Contractors should also act quickly if they have questions because the question deadline is September 16.

⚠️ SELECTIVE FIT

City of Bellevue — Janitorial Services, Various Sites — East

Agency: City of Bellevue

Location: Bellevue, Washington

Solicitation: RFP 26080

Proposal Due: September 17, 2026 at 2:00 PM

Contract Term: 5 years

Fit Score: 5/10

Scope: Provide janitorial services at designated Bellevue Parks & Community Services facilities in the eastern service area. Locations include community, recreation, administrative, and park facilities with different cleaning schedules and service frequencies.

Why We Like It: A five-year public-sector contract could provide substantial recurring revenue for an established janitorial company that already meets Bellevue's qualification standards.

Watch-Out: The entry requirements are significant. Vendors must have 15 or more years of related experience, at least five years operating under the same business name and ownership, experience with municipal and regulatory entities, and familiarity with Washington prevailing-wage requirements. The response deadline is also approaching quickly.

⚠️ SPECIALIZED FIT

Oregon Metro — Convention Center & Expo Center Window Cleaning

Agency: Oregon Metro

Location: Portland, Oregon

Solicitation: ITB 4616

Proposal Due: September 23, 2026

Fit Score: 6/10

Scope: Provide professional interior and exterior window cleaning at the Oregon Convention Center and Portland Expo Center. Work includes ground-level cleaning as well as elevated access using boom lifts, scissor lifts, bosun chairs, and secured climbing methods.

Why We Like It: This is a clearly defined public cleaning contract with enough remaining time for an appropriately equipped contractor to evaluate the scope and prepare a bid.

Watch-Out: This is not a standard janitorial contract. Contractors need trained personnel, appropriate specialty-access equipment, strong safety procedures, and insurance suitable for elevated and high-access window cleaning.

Quick Take

Best immediate Oregon opportunity: Oregon State Police John Day. The five-year initial term, lack of a required walkthrough, and recently extended deadline make this especially interesting for an Oregon contractor that can submit quickly.

Best overall fit: Olympic National Forest Cabin Cleaning. The total small-business set-aside and later October deadline make it one of the most accessible opportunities in this issue.

Best long-term opportunity for an established contractor: City of Bellevue RFP 26080. The five-year term is attractive, but the substantial experience requirements make it a selective fit.

Most specialized opportunity: Oregon Metro's window-cleaning contract. This should primarily interest contractors already equipped and trained for high-access commercial window work.
