15757P-brand specific-setina partition, hardseat, window PKG

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) issued Request for Bids (RFB) IS 26200891 on May 11, 2026, with a deadline for bid submission on June 4, 2026, for the procurement of brand-specific Setina partition systems equipped with hardseat and window package components. This is a specialized equipment procurement intended for use in correctional transport vehicles to ensure secure prisoner transport applications. The solicitation requires qualified vendors to supply and deliver these security partitions that meet precise technical specifications outlined in the RFB and accompanying specification documents. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with all material standards, installation compatibility requirements, performance certifications, and California state safety standards. Successful vendors must provide detailed pricing breakdowns with competitive unit pricing, comprehensive warranty information, documented delivery timelines, and evidence of prior experience supplying similar security partition systems to law enforcement and correctional agencies. The evaluation and award will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the best value to the state, contingent upon vendor qualifications, product compliance verification, and the state's budget appropriations for correctional equipment.

The procurement includes participation requirements for Certified Business Enterprises (CBEs), with bidders required to complete and submit the CBE Form as Exhibit 6 to document minority, women, and disabled veteran business enterprise involvement and compliance with California's contracting goals for disadvantaged business enterprises. The specification-based nature of this solicitation indicates that CDCR has determined the Setina brand partition system as the specific solution required for its intended correctional transport application, making this a brand-specific purchase where alternative products would not satisfy operational requirements. Bidders must demonstrate the technical and operational capacity to manufacture and deliver products meeting CDCR specifications and maintain adequate capacity to fulfill delivery schedules while providing post-sale support services. The exact award value or budget range for this procurement is not disclosed in the available solicitation documents; however, the specification-driven procurement process and the state's typical purchasing patterns suggest volume pricing considerations may apply. All bids must include evidence of vendor qualifications, manufacturing capabilities, and the ability to meet the state's delivery and performance standards for this correctional equipment procurement.
