IFB Number 26-0040-IFB - DOJ Administrative Services - Statewide Overnight Courier Service

The California Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of the Attorney General, Administrative Services, and Legal Support Operations is soliciting bids through Invitation for Bid (IFB) Number 26-0040-IFB for statewide overnight courier services. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to provide daily overnight courier service across six DOJ office locations: Sacramento, Oakland, San Francisco, Fresno, Los Angeles, and San Diego, with service routes established between all locations. The contractor will transport inter-agency envelopes and mail envelopes exclusively, with explicit exclusions for pallets, liquids, and hazardous materials. The anticipated contract term is three years, effective September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029, with bidders required to submit monthly pricing for overnight courier service plus separate overweight fees for ground and air transportation from all six origin locations. Bidders must meet qualification requirements including business integrity, proper licensing and certifications, and liability insurance as specified in the IFB, and all quoted rates must remain binding for the full contract term with no adjustments permitted based on actual quantities used. The submission deadline is May 28, 2026, with the IFB posted on May 15, 2026, and bidders must complete all required attachments including bid forms, statements of work, client references, contractor certification clauses, payee data records, conflict of interest statements, and various compliance certifications, along with compliance documentation for the Darfur Contracting Act, California Civil Rights Laws, Iran Contracting Act, and drug-free workplace requirements.

This procurement is open to all qualified bidders regardless of business certification status, as the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) set-aside requirement has been waived for this solicitation. However, interested bidders demonstrating DVBE participation or small business subcontractor preferences must submit supporting documentation as specified in the IFB. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available solicitation materials. The total bid amount will be calculated as the monthly cost multiplied by twelve months multiplied by three years, though specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in the posted documents. Bidders must review all supporting exhibits, including the scope of work contained in the IFB_Required_Attachments and IFB_Sample_Exhibits documents, to ensure full compliance with solicitation requirements and complete understanding of service expectations across all six DOJ office locations.
