This is a Job Order Contract (JOC) solicitation document for the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) for the fiscal year 2026-2027. The solicitation seeks qualified contractors to provide traditional job order contracting services for fire-related projects and construction work. The JOC structure allows LAUSD to issue task orders for various fire suppression, life safety, and related construction projects as needed throughout the contract term. The contract is anticipated to run for an initial period with potential renewal options to be specified in the final solicitation documents. Interested bidders must submit responses by the deadline outlined in the solicitation, with evaluation of bids and contract awards expected to occur within the standard procurement timeline. Site visits and pre-bid meetings may be scheduled to allow contractors to familiarize themselves with LAUSD facilities and project requirements.

Pricing for services will be structured according to JOC standards, typically utilizing percentage markups on labor, materials, and equipment costs for individual task orders. The solicitation may include preferences or set-asides for small businesses, local vendors, or other designated contractor categories as permitted under California law. LAUSD will evaluate proposals based on factors including pricing competitiveness, contractor experience with school district projects, safety record, financial stability, and capacity to perform work efficiently. Funding for projects awarded under this JOC will derive from LAUSD's capital improvement and maintenance budgets. Contractors selected will be required to maintain appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding throughout the contract term and comply with all applicable prevailing wage requirements and school district policies.
