Dry Cleaning and Laundry Services

The County of Orange, Registrar of Voters, is soliciting bids under IFB 031-3167802-CM for as-needed dry cleaning and laundry services, with electronic bids due November 23, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. County of Orange Local Small Business (OCLSB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) certifications receive a five percent preference deduction for evaluation purposes. If the lowest bidder holds either certification, the contract is awarded at that bidder's original bid price.

Scope covers dry cleaning and wash-and-fold laundry for departmental apparel, including t-shirts, polo shirts, windbreaker and performance jackets, aprons, safety vests, and rain ponchos, plus linens such as table covers, table skirts, and tablecloths. Bidders must provide pickup and delivery with a standard turnaround of one to seven days, and one-day completion is available on request at no additional charge. Post-election volumes are large and require completion within thirty days, with mutual agreement for longer timelines if necessary.

Minimum qualifications are three years of business experience providing the requested services, all required federal, state, and local permits and licenses, and adequate equipment and personnel. Pricing must be firm and all-inclusive, covering overhead, labor, transportation, fuel surcharges, mileage, environmental fees, and storage, with no sales tax included. Bids remain valid for 365 days after the closing date. The County may make multiple awards or apportion requirements among multiple bidders. Award goes to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.

The awardee must maintain a valid DUNS and UEI number, submit a W-9 (or 587/590 for out-of-state suppliers), and provide insurance certificates with additional insured endorsements upon award. The contractor must also furnish labor and material payment and faithful performance bonds. The contractor is liable for damaged or lost items at replacement cost.

Submissions are accepted only through the County's OpenGov eProcurement Portal. All questions must go through the solicitation's Question & Answer section, and bidders may not contact County personnel directly. The County location is 1300 S.
