IFB S24BS011 - Locksmith Services

The California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB No. S24BS011) seeking comprehensive locksmith services across Northern, Central, and Southern California regions, encompassing 22 counties including Contra Costa County. The procurement targets on-call and immediate-response locksmith services for DIR offices, requiring contractors to provide labor, tools, parts, materials, and equipment for lock installation, rekeying, repair, and maintenance while maintaining ADA compliance. Bidders must possess a C28 (Lock and Security Equipment Contractor) license, demonstrate at least five years of business experience, and provide relevant references. Contractors will be responsible for responding within 2 hours for immediate-response calls and completing repairs within 24 hours. The bid is due on December 9, 2024, by 5:00 PM, with electronic submission required, and the contract term will span 36 months.

The solicitation includes preferences and incentives for Small Business (SB), Microbusiness (MB), and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation, with DVBE incentives ranging from 1% to 5% based on participation levels. Bidders may submit proposals for one or multiple regions, with DIR allocating a total budget of $450,000 ($150,000 per region). The pricing structure incorporates hourly rates for services and allows actual replacement part costs not to exceed $2,500 per region. While no incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, the comprehensive regional approach suggests DIR is seeking to establish a robust, multi-region locksmith service contract that can efficiently address security and maintenance needs across various California counties.
