10784738-1

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) is conducting a Request for Quote (RFQ) #10784738-1 for the procurement of 54 vehicle diagnostic scan tools specifically for the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Programs. The solicitation targets the Solus Plus 24.2 diagnostic tool (model EESC372C121N), with precise technical specifications requiring support for 100+ OEM-specific vehicle systems, Global OBD-II compatibility, and a color capacitive touchscreen display. The tool must feature specific technical parameters including a display resolution between 1024x600 and 1920x1200 pixels, weight range of 2.37 to 26.5 pounds, and an embedded SMX operating system. Bidders must submit comprehensive responses via email to Robin Adams by April 1, 2025, with delivery expected within 30 calendar days after order receipt. The evaluation will focus on identifying the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all administrative and technical requirements, with careful review of each specification outlined in the detailed specification sheets. Contractors must provide complete documentation, including a GenAI Reporting and Factsheet, Bidder Declaration, and various mandatory certifications.

The solicitation includes several set-aside and preference provisions benefiting small businesses and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE), offering a 5% bid preference for small businesses and a potential 1-5% DVBE participation incentive. The procurement is restricted to firms headquartered and doing business exclusively within the United States, with a maximum subcontracting limit of 40%. Bidders must comply with California civil rights laws and demonstrate ability to meet all technical specifications detailed in Attachment 3's comprehensive specification sheet. While the Line Item Cost Worksheet shows a zero-dollar pricing structure, suggesting this may be a replacement or no-cost procurement, the total distribution will cover 27 different adult correctional institutions across California. The CDCR reserves the right to reject any or all quotes and maintains flexibility in the procurement process. Notably, the solicitation does not constitute a commitment to award an agreement, providing the department significant discretion in the final selection process.
