How to bid on Janitorial Services for Eisenhower and Facilities and Maintenance Buildings, City of Augusta

What the City of Augusta is buying

The City of Augusta is looking for professional janitorial services for five different locations in Augusta, Georgia. These services are for office buildings and common areas, covering approximately 12,842 square feet in total. The work schedules vary by location, requiring cleaning either two or five days per week, with services performed after 5 p.m. or between 1–5 p.m. Services are expected to begin on January 1, 2027.

This opportunity is significant for cleaning companies as awards will be made per location, allowing vendors to bid on specific sites that best fit their capabilities. Two of the locations are at Ft. Eisenhower, which will require adherence to additional security policies and procedures.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

The solicitation was published on July 31, 2026. A mandatory pre-bid meeting will be held on August 17, 2026, at 8:00 AM ET. Attendance at this meeting is required to be eligible to submit a bid.

The deadline for submitting responses is September 03, 2026, at 8:00 AM ET. All proposals must be submitted as directed in the posting before this time. Late submissions will likely not be considered.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is well-suited for janitorial and cleaning service firms, particularly those with experience in commercial office cleaning. Companies capable of managing multiple sites or specializing in specific types of cleaning schedules (e.g., after-hours or daytime) will find this relevant.

Given that two locations are at Ft. Eisenhower, vendors with experience working in secure environments or those prepared to comply with specific security protocols will be at an advantage. The opportunity is categorized under environmental services.

How to respond

To access the full solicitation documents and learn how to respond, you need to view the original source on the Georgia Procurement Registry (GPR). This is Georgia's statewide bid posting site. Viewing the posting and its document list is public and does not require an account.

Some Georgia events route documents and responses to an external “Event Link” (Team Georgia Marketplace). If this is the case, you will submit your response through that link. Otherwise, follow the submission instructions provided directly within the posting before the September 03, 2026, 8:00 AM ET deadline.

Tips for preparing a competitive response

Carefully review the scope of work for each of the five locations. Since awards are made per location, tailor your proposal to clearly address the specific requirements, square footage, and cleaning frequency for each site you wish to bid on. Highlight your firm's experience with similar facilities and cleaning schedules.

Pay close attention to the mandatory pre-bid meeting on August 17, 2026. Your attendance is crucial, as it is a prerequisite for submitting a valid bid. This meeting is also an opportunity to ask clarifying questions directly to the agency.

For the Ft. Eisenhower locations, explicitly address how your firm will meet the additional security policies and procedures. Detail any relevant security clearances or protocols your staff already follow, or outline your plan to comply with the required security measures. This demonstrates your understanding and readiness for these specific sites.
