The proposal submission deadline is March 3, 2026, at 3:00 PM PDT through the County's ePro electronic procurement system, with a deadline for submitting vendor questions by February 19, 2026, at 2:00 PM PDT, and contract award tentatively scheduled for April 2026. Deliveries will be made on an as-needed, F.O.B. destination basis immediately upon County purchase order issuance and product availability. Bidders must comply with California OSHA standards, provide product warranties, certify their debarment status, submit current cost and pricing data, complete required representations and certifications, and provide a completed IRS W-9 form prior to contract award.

A local vendor preference of five percent (5%) applies to vendors with principal places of business within San Bernardino County boundaries. The County maintains self-insured status and reserves the right to reject any or all bids, increase or decrease quantities at award, perform pre-award capability surveys, and acquire equivalent products from alternative sources. No incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified in the solicitation documents, and no specific budget range or award value was disclosed. The contract will be subject to standard County contract terms and conditions, including compliance with non-discrimination requirements and drug and alcohol-free workplace provisions, as well as applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses. While no specific disadvantaged enterprise set-asides were mentioned, vendors should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to meet the County's security glass specifications and delivery requirements.
