The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) P-000284, #G2-023 for medical equipment procurement for the California Institution for Men Healthcare Facility Improvement Program (HCFIP) Group II Sub-Project 7. The solicitation encompasses 26 specific medical equipment line items, including an AED defibrillator, medical carts, vital signs monitors, wheelchairs, and examination tables. Vendors must provide comprehensive services including set-in-place demonstration, training, and calibration, with all training limited to one eight-hour day and requiring 30 days prior notice for gate clearance procedures. All equipment must be new, of the latest model, and cannot be used, shopworn, demonstrator, prototype, or discontinued models. The RFQ requires vendors to handle full delivery, unpacking, and installation according to manufacturer specifications, with warranties to be provided at the time of installation. Responses are due by May 18, 2016, and must be submitted electronically to denise.anderson@cdcr.ca.gov, with a targeted delivery date of June 29, 2016.

The procurement is set aside for small businesses under DGS Rule 14838.5 Small Business Regulations, with a 5% quote preference available for non-small businesses claiming 25% California certified small business subcontractor participation. Disabled veteran business enterprise (DVBE) participation is encouraged, and vendors will be required to submit a Payee Data Record if not currently on file with CDCR. The award will be made on an "All or None" or "Individual Items" basis, providing flexibility in vendor selection. Successful vendors must submit color samples for equipment finish selection and will be responsible for tagging all equipment with CDCR item numbers and specific building/room locations. Vendors must also provide detailed product information for any equivalent items quoted. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the equipment list suggests a significant procurement investment for the healthcare facility improvement project.
