The California Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) #24-223 for the procurement of a FARO 3D Laser Scanner or equivalent system for the Bureau of Forensic Services located in Riverside County. The solicitation seeks a comprehensive laser scanning solution that includes a FARO Focus Premium Max 400m USA TAA scanner with specific accessories such as batteries, tripods, software subscriptions, a VR-ready notebook, thermal protection covers, and a one-day training session for up to four personnel. Key procurement dates include a bidder question submission deadline of June 13, 2025, bid responses due on June 20, 2025 at 2:00 PM PT, DOJ assessment on June 24, 2025, and a notice of intent to award by June 30, 2025. The contract will cover a three-year term from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028, with delivery required to the DOJ location in Jurupa Valley by August 1, 2025. Evaluation criteria will focus on selecting the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with specific requirements that all equipment must be new, represent the latest model in current production, and meet comprehensive technical specifications outlined in the Scope of Work.

The solicitation includes provisions promoting small business and disabled veteran business enterprise (DVBE) participation, with potential preference points available for certified businesses. Non-small businesses can receive a 5% preference by committing to at least 25% subcontracting with California-certified small businesses. Bidders must complete several mandatory compliance documents, including a Bidder Declaration, Civil Rights Certification, Postconsumer Recycled-Content Certification, and a Commercially Useful Function form demonstrating their ability to perform meaningful contract work. While the total contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive cost worksheet allows for pricing across five potential contract years and includes detailed line-item requirements for equipment, maintenance, and associated services. The contract includes a budget contingency clause permitting cancellation if sufficient state funds are not appropriated, and potentially includes a $10,000 withhold related to DVBE certification requirements. Vendors must provide comprehensive pricing for all items, with partial quotes being unacceptable, and must ensure all proposed equipment meets the DOJ's stringent technical and operational specifications.
