Combined preference and incentive adjustments cannot exceed $100,000.

The scope covers rental of shop jackets, uniform shirts, work pants, bar towels, shop towels, and slip-resistant mats. Bidders must hold a valid local or county business license and show three consecutive years of experience managing protective clothing and operational supply programs. Corporations must be in good standing and qualified to conduct business in California. The winning bidder must provide proof of liability insurance meeting the solicitation's specified requirements and pass a driver license check before contract execution.

The agreement is anticipated to run from January 1, 2027 through January 31, 2030, or from approval if later. CHP may extend the term subject to satisfactory performance and funding availability. The source does not state a contract value.
