How to bid on Janitorial Services at LACOE Sites for LACOE

What LACOE is buying

The Los Angeles County Office of Education is seeking qualified bidders to provide janitorial services at LACOE-operated locations in Los Angeles County and nearby areas. Services may be required on any day or at any time of the week, on schedules set by LACOE’s authorized representative.

This is an IFB from the Controller’s Office. The bid requires a bid bond or cashier’s check, so vendors should account for both the electronic response and delivery of the original.

Key dates and the two deadlines

The solicitation was published October 23, 2026. The electronic bid deadline is November 20, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. ET. Submit through PlanetBids before that deadline.

A copy of the bid bond or cashier’s check must be uploaded with the Required Responses. The original must reach LACOE by 3:00 p.m. on November 30, 2026. The original’s delivery deadline is separate from the electronic bid deadline.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity suits janitorial and custodial service firms able to serve LACOE locations in Los Angeles County and adjacent areas. Bidders should be prepared to work at times and on days specified by LACOE.

How to access and submit the bid

Open the solicitation on LACOE’s PlanetBids portal. The listing provides public access to the scope, dates, and document list. PlanetBids may require a brief human-verification check before the page loads.

Register a free PlanetBids vendor account with LACOE to download the bid documents, receive addenda, and submit electronically. Upload the bid bond or cashier’s check copy with the Required Responses, and arrange for the original to reach LACOE by the stated November 30 deadline.

Read the bid documents and any addenda carefully. Use the stated requirements to check that your response addresses the requested services, locations, and scheduling expectations.

Confirm that the required security is included in the electronic submission and that the original will arrive on time. Allow for delivery time, and check your PlanetBids submission before the deadline to make sure all required responses and attachments are included.
