A five percent Small Business preference applies to certified small or micro businesses, and a five percent non-small business preference applies to non-small businesses committing to 25 percent or greater participation from certified small or micro business subcontractors. A one to five percent Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) incentive is also available and may be combined with the Small Business preference. Neither preference may reduce a bid by more than $50,000, and the combined DVBE and Small Business reduction is capped at $500,000.

The scope covers interior cleaning of potable and non-potable tanks, dive operations, equipment disinfection, sediment removal, video inspection with photographic documentation, and written condition reports.

Each location's award includes a 25 percent line item for as-needed services. Bidders may offer a discount of at least one percent, with a $50 minimum, on invoices paid within 30 days, and CDCR may use that discount to break ties. CDCR estimates quantities and does not guarantee that any services will be requested. The agreement runs from approval through October 31, 2029, with amendment options for additional years.
