The bid is scheduled to be open from August 21, 2025, with a submission deadline of September 9, 2025, providing approximately three weeks for interested vendors to prepare and submit their proposals.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the procurement appears to be open to qualified transportation and logistics service providers with demonstrated capabilities in furniture handling and installation. The California Prison Industry Authority likely seeks vendors with proven experience in large-scale furniture logistics, professional installation skills, and the capacity to serve multiple regional jurisdictions. The attached Security Provisions suggest potential background check or security clearance requirements for service providers. Although specific budget ranges are not provided, the multi-regional nature of the contract and its designation as a "backup" service implies a potentially significant contract value. Interested bidders should carefully review the comprehensive documentation, including the 7MB main IFB document, to fully understand the scope of services, submission requirements, and evaluation criteria for this state-level procurement opportunity.
