FY2026-2027 ISD Traditional Job Order Contracts Solicitation

Los Angeles Unified School District is soliciting multiple traditional Job Order Contracts for FY2026-2027 across fire suppression, HVAC, roofing, and general construction services, with proposals due August 14, 2026. The solicitation encompasses multiple trade categories and service areas under the California Integrated Services Division (ISD) program, utilizing the Gordian Construction Task Catalog and SimpleBid platform for standardized pricing and task definitions.

The JOC structure allows LAUSD to issue task orders on an as-needed basis rather than competitively rebid individual projects. Contractors must submit unit-price or percentage-markup proposals based on established national cost databases; pricing methodologies vary by JOC vehicle but standardize costs across labor, materials, and equipment. Contract terms typically run for one year with renewal options, though some vehicles extend to three years with two one-year renewal options. LAUSD funds awarded contracts through capital improvement and operational maintenance budgets, with specific project funding determined at the task-order stage.

Contractors must hold appropriate California licensing, insurance, and bonding throughout the contract term and comply with prevailing wage requirements and school district policies. The solicitation may include set-asides or participation goals for small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, women-owned enterprises, disabled veteran-owned enterprises, and local vendors consistent with California public procurement law, though specific percentages and reserve designations are outlined in individual JOC documents. Pre-bid meetings, site visits, and Q&A cycles may be scheduled; detailed timelines are provided in the complete solicitation package.

Evaluation criteria include pricing competitiveness, contractor experience with educational facilities, safety record, financial stability, past performance, and responsiveness to emergency and routine service requests. Contractors selected will perform work across LAUSD's expansive multi-site portfolio with coordination requirements during active school operations.
