FPCM-RFQ-P000276-G2063-CS - Tables

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ P-000277, Tracking Number G2-063) for procuring 55 free-standing folding tables for the R.J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego. The tables must be graffiti and scratch resistant, specifically measuring 30"W x 72"L x 29"H, with Norix T245-320 specified as the reference model or an approved equivalent. Vendors are required to provide set-in-place services throughout the institution, with anticipated installation beginning June 13, 2016. Vendors must submit personnel information 30 days prior to delivery for gate clearance approval, and all equipment must be new, with used, shopworn, demonstrator, prototype, or discontinued models explicitly excluded. The RFQ requires submission of quotes by May 9, 2016, directly to Cathy Shinnamon, with an evaluation process that will consider quotes on an "All or None" or "Individual Items" basis, and cash discounts will not be factored into quote evaluations.

The procurement includes several set-aside and preference provisions, offering a 5% bid preference for certified small businesses or non-small businesses subcontracting at least 25% to certified small businesses. Additional preference programs applicable to solicitations over $100,000 include TACPA, EZA, and LAMBRA. Vendors must complete various certifications, including a Commercially Useful Function certification, Darfur Contracting Act certification, and Post-consumer Content certification. The State reserves the right to increase the purchase order up to 20% upon written approval. While no specific budget range is detailed, the procurement involves 55 specialized correctional facility tables, suggesting a moderate-value contract. Disabled veteran business enterprises (DVBE) are also recognized in the solicitation, reflecting the state's commitment to diverse vendor participation in government procurement.
