The California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) is soliciting bids for janitorial mop heads, cleaning cloths, and textiles laundry services for the Canyon Springs Community Facility located in Cathedral City, Riverside County. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide a comprehensive laundry service that includes delivering and managing an inventory of microfiber cleaning cloths, dust mop heads, wet mop heads, bar mop cloths, bathmats, towels, wash cloths, kitchen aprons, napkins, and laundry bags. The contractor must make minimum twice-weekly deliveries of clean items and collect soiled items, with an auto-replenishment requirement to replace degraded textiles. Bidders must demonstrate three years of experience providing laundry services to commercial accounts and be capable of meeting Title 22 licensing standards for laundry services. Key submission deadlines include questions due by January 12, 2026, bid submissions due by January 27, 2026 at 1:00 PM PST, and a planned award date of February 25, 2026. The contract term runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029, with one optional one-year renewal available at original bid rates.

The solicitation does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, and Disadvantaged Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirements have been waived for this contract. The contractor must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including general and professional liability insurance with minimums of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate. Contractors will be required to comply with specific performance standards, including HIPAA compliance, sexual harassment prevention policies, and maintenance of proper accounting systems. The budget will be determined through a line-item pricing structure with 28 different textile and service items, and contractors may bill a monthly fuel surcharge based on national diesel fuel price benchmarks. While a specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the three-year contract with potential one-year extension suggests a substantial procurement opportunity for a qualified laundry service provider with experience in commercial and institutional settings.
