The California Prison Industry Authority (CALPIA) is soliciting bids for Invitation for Bid (IFB) #S22652512, which seeks preventative maintenance services for air compressors located at the Central California Women's Facility (CCWF) in Chowchilla, California. The procurement specifically requires maintenance services for two air compressors, two coalescing/particulate air filters, and one clay oil water separator. Contractors must demonstrate at least 5 years of experience in similar services and provide references from three projects completed within the last three years. The bid evaluation will consider factors such as cost, performance, quality, reliability, ISO certification, and overall service experience.

The bid is due on June 10, 2025, by 3:00 PM, with a proposed contract start date of July 1, 2025, and an anticipated contract term of two years with a potential one-year extension option.

The solicitation does not provide specific set-aside designations for small businesses, disabled veteran business enterprises, or other special enterprise categories. However, CALPIA encourages contractors to employ ex-offenders as part of their mission, which may provide additional consideration during evaluation. No incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned in the documentation. While no specific budget range is detailed, the bid documents suggest a competitive, best-value approach to contractor selection. Potential bidders must comply with extensive security provisions, including mandatory background checks, personnel screening, tuberculosis testing, and strict guidelines for conduct within CDCR facilities. Contractors will be required to maintain minimum insurance coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and adhere to comprehensive legal and operational requirements outlined in CALPIA's General Provisions and Security Provisions documents.
