IFB Number 25-0024-IFB - DOJ Division of Operations, Los Angeles Attorney Generals Office (LAAGO) Freight Services

The California Department of Justice (DOJ), specifically the Division of Operations and Los Angeles Attorney General's Office (LAAGO), is soliciting bids for a freight services contract through Invitation for Bid (IFB) Number 25-0024-IFB. The primary objective is to transport approximately 1,000-1,200 boxes of closed case files (equivalent to 24 pallets with 40-50 boxes per pallet) from the Los Angeles office located at 300 S. Spring Street to Pacific Storage in Sacramento at 4601 Beloit Drive. The total estimated load weight ranges from 25,000-30,000 pounds, with an anticipated frequency of 2-4 deliveries within a 12-month period. Bidders must provide comprehensive freight services, including box preparation, loading, transportation, and delivery, using a truck that does not exceed the 12'6" loading dock height. The bid response is due on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at 3:00 P.M. PST, with a proposed contract term from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028. The DOJ will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, evaluating submissions based on unit prices, compliance with specifications, and overall service capabilities.

The procurement includes provisions for Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation, offering potential incentives for businesses meeting specific criteria. Bidders must complete multiple attachments and certifications, provide comprehensive insurance documentation, and comply with state contracting regulations. While no incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, the contract requires potential contractors to have specialized logistics capabilities for handling confidential legal documents. Bidders must demonstrate the ability to safely and securely transport case file boxes, with specific requirements for pallet preparation, shrink-wrapping, and equipment provisions. Although the exact contract value is not explicitly stated, the scope suggests a multi-year agreement with potential total compensation determined by the unit pricing submitted for various service components. The procurement is specifically targeted to businesses operating in Los Angeles County and the broader California state jurisdiction, with a focus on supporting local and veteran-owned businesses through the DVBE program.
