The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) numbered C5612972-D, Rebid 1, for Laundry Equipment Maintenance and Repair Services at the High Desert State Prison (HDSP). The procurement seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive maintenance and repair services for six specific laundry machines, including Milnor dryers and washers and an American dryer. Bidders must possess a California Contractors State License Board "D-21" Machinery and Pumps Contractor's license and be prepared to perform services during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday), excluding state holidays. The contract will run from the date of approval through June 30, 2028, with services encompassing regular maintenance, emergency repairs, and parts replacement. Key evaluation criteria include the contractor's ability to meet technical specifications, licensing requirements, and compliance with state documentation mandates. The bid is due on August 20, 2025, by 11:00 AM, with a public bid opening scheduled for August 21, 2025, at 2:00 PM.

The solicitation includes specific set-aside and participation goals, with a 25% Small Business participation requirement and a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) incentive program offering potential 1% to 5% incentives based on DVBE participation. Certified Small Business and Micro Business firms are strongly encouraged to submit bids. Bidders must complete multiple state-mandated forms, including a Payee Data Record and a Generative AI Disclosure form, and provide proof of insurance. The total estimated contract value is $45,000, which covers regular maintenance/repair services (estimated at 24 hours per unit), emergency repair services (140 estimated hours), and parts. The state offers a potential discount incentive, allowing contractors to provide at least a 1% discount on invoices paid within 30 days, with the highest discount potentially serving as a tiebreaker in bid evaluation. Contractors should note that the state reserves the right to adjust work amounts and potentially omit portions of the work as deemed necessary.
