In an effort to maximize available resources and supply the best possible services to the University community, outside vendors have been contracted to perform several long-term services that are required on campus. Generally, these are services that can be performed most economically by professionals trained in the specific fields required.

While these services are fulfilled by external contractors, any requests for these services or questions should still be addressed to the University — not the vendor.

Sample Contracted Services

Contracted services include, but are not limited to:

• Air quality and filter replacement (Dayton Reliable Air Filter Company).
• Custodial services (Scioto Services).
• Elevator maintenance and repair (KONE and Schindler ThyssenKrupp).

• Window cleaning (Alpha & Omega or Club Level Cleaning Company)
