• Deliver and rotate weekly rental supplies (rags, mats, mopheads) with collection of soiled items.
• Conduct weekly pickup/delivery, maintain inventory logs, and comply with quarterly inspections.
• Meet insurance, licensing, driver‑license background checks, and all state procurement compliance (sanctions, drug‑free workplace, etc.).
• Offer potential preference adjustments (up to 10% or $100 k) for qualifying small‑business, DVBE, or veteran‑service entities.
