The Louisiana Office of State Procurement is seeking a barber service provider for the Northwest LA War Veterans Home located in Bossier Parish. The contract aims to deliver haircuts for approximately 120 male and female residents twice monthly or as needed, with services scheduled from the date of award through June 30, 2026. Potential contractors must possess a current Louisiana barber/beautician license and have a minimum of two years of verifiable work experience. The service provider will work during facility-approved hours (9:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.) on either Monday or Tuesday, maintaining a detailed service ledger and adhering to strict sanitation and professional standards. Bidders must submit proposals by July 29, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, either through physical delivery to the Office of State Procurement in Baton Rouge or online via the LaGov vendor portal. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specified requirements, including licensing, experience, and ability to serve both ambulatory and bedridden residents. The procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must be registered in the LaGov system and will be required to provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability. The contract includes potential renewal options for two additional 12-month periods, not to exceed a total of 36 months. Pricing should be comprehensive, including transportation, delivery, unpacking, and debris removal, with payment processed electronically using either the LaCarte procurement card (for purchases under $5,000) or Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates approximately 1,000 barber service units will be required. The state reserves the right to adjust quantities as needed and expects bidders to maintain firm pricing for a minimum of 60 days. Critical performance requirements include maintaining a clean work area, disinfecting tools between clients, and meeting the facility's strict attendance and service expectations.
