This procurement is being processed as a Sole Source Procurement because ABM Industry Groups (“ABM”) is the only cleaning service vendor that Lincoln Property Company (“LPC”) will allow to clean the building. LPC manages the building. ABM secured the cleaning contract with LPC for the cleaning of the entire building. ABM is currently charging LPC tax for the cleaning cost of the building. LPC could not absorb the tax costs for the two leased floors so it reached out to the NYC Law Department to transfer the cleaning contract directly to the Law Department. The Law Department was advised by ABM that it must be in contract with them directly for ABM to accept the Law Department’s tax exempt status. Although the Law Department received 11 expressions of interest, none of the interested vendors were able to produce an exclusive contract with the building management company. This procurement is a sole source because of the contract between the Vendor ABM and the building management company, not because of the nature of cleaning services in general.
