The State of California issued RFB-IS-27200016 (posted July 9, 2026, due July 28, 2026) for furniture supply and delivery to an outpatient building, including casework, cabinets, seating, and storage solutions for a commercial healthcare environment, with CBE certification required and potential set-asides for minority-owned and women-owned businesses.
