The initial contract term runs July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029, with three additional one-year renewal options available at the Judicial Council's sole discretion, potentially extending the maximum contract term to six years.
Small business preferences and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) incentive provisions are available under this procurement, with DVBE requirements mandating that at least 3 percent of contract goods and services be provided by a DVBE performing a commercially useful function. All work subject to California prevailing wage laws must comply with Department of Industrial Relations requirements, and proposers claiming classifications subject to prevailing wage must include current DIR public works registration numbers.
