Summary: Presented by: Mr. Erick Hofstetter, Chief Operating Officer, Division of Operations
Request: It is requested that the DeKalb County School Board of Education (“the Board”) approve the contract renewal of the OMNIA Partners Cooperative contract #152610 solicited under the Region 14 RFP 24-S824 for Comprehensive Operational and Janitorial Supplies and Solutions, with a combined not-to-exceed amount of $6,500,000:
Brady Plus - $ 1,500,000
Southeastern Paper Group - $5,000,000
This is contract renewal two of four (2 of 4).
Why: Approval of the renewal of these cooperative contracts is to provide the necessary goods and services to support the DeKalb County School District (“DCSD”) custodial needs. It will allow DCSD to efficiently address district-wide custodial equipment, purchase, repair, and product needs while ensuring fiscal responsibility, procurement compliance, and operational flexibility on an as-needed basis. These contracts support safe, functional, and equitable learning and working environments for students and staff across all schools and facilities.
By renewing this agreement, DCSD will benefit from competitively solicited and awarded fixed pricing. Additionally, access to this contract offers DCSD a comprehensive catalog of custodial supplies, enhancing our capacity to supply the district with the highest quality products available on the market.
Details: The Division of Operations is requesting approval to renew the OMNIA Cooperative Contract #152610.
On February 21, 2024, OMNIA RFP # 24-S824 was issued for Comprehensive Operational and Janitorial Supplies and Solutions from which the Supplier - WAXIE’S Enterprises, LLC, and its affiliate, BradyPLUS were awarded a contract based on their proposal to the RFP and were subsequently, acquired as distribution companies under the Envoy Solutions umbrella. The Board approved the initial use of OMNIA Cooperative Contract #152610 on November 11, 2024, to Southeastern Paper as an affiliate of ENVOY Solutions (through Waxie/BradyPlus)
Southeastern Paper is an affiliate under the Waxie/BradyPlus relationship, with all vendors included in the ENVOY Solutions umbrella through the OMNIA Cooperative Contract #152610.
On February 9, 2026, the Board approved the TIPS RFP #240402 Cooperative Agreement with Imperial Bag & Paper Co., LLC d/b/a Imperial Dade for custodial equipment repair services, district-wide, in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000. Subsequently, Imperial Dade could not support equipment repair services under the intended TIPS contract and underwent a merger with Brady Plus. Due to this development, the OMNIA Contract #152610, which Brady Plus is an awardee and affiliate of is replacing the TIPS contract for these services.
Based on those developments, DCSD is requesting approval to utilize OMNIA Partners Cooperative Agreement Contract #152610 with Brady Plus for custodial equipment purchase and repair services district-wide.
The OMNIA contract #152610 is an initial three (3) year agreement from June 1, 2024, through May 31, 2027, with the option to renew for two (2) additional one -year (1) periods through May 31, 2029.
DCSD requests approval to renew the cooperative agreement for June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027, with the option to renew for the additional periods upon Board approval.
Financial impact: The contract amount for Comprehensive Operational and Janitorial Supplies and Solutions is a not-to-exceed amount of $6,500,000.
Funds will be allocated from the General Fund Budget: (100.2600.543000.00011.7520.9990.8013.040.0000)
