The California Prison Industry Authority (CALPIA) is soliciting Modular Systems Furniture (MSF) Installation Services for the Bay Area region through Invitation for Bid #P06252500. The procurement covers comprehensive installation services for CALPIA's Monolithic and Frame and Tile furniture lines, including height adjustable tables, furniture delivery, set-in-place services, and repair work across eleven counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano, and Sonoma. The project estimates installing approximately 1,250 workstations and completing 125 hours of furniture repairs annually. Bidders must possess a valid Contractor's License, maintain a physical Bay Area presence, have a warehouse, and demonstrate at least five years of business experience with three years specifically in MSF installation. The evaluation will be based on best value, considering factors such as cost, performance, and experience. Key procurement dates include a question submission deadline of September 22, 2025, and final bid submissions due by September 30, 2025, at 3:00 PM. The anticipated contract term is approximately three years with a potential one-year extension option.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it encourages contractor compliance with various state regulations including the Buy Clean California Act and Prison Rape Elimination Act. Contractors must submit a Bidder's Bond of 10% of the project total, provide proof of insurance, and comply with prevailing wage requirements and Department of Industrial Relations registration. Additional mandatory requirements include security provisions specific to working within California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation facilities, such as obtaining gate clearance, passing background checks, and adhering to strict interaction protocols. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive scope of installation services across multiple counties suggests a substantial contract opportunity. Contractors must also be prepared to navigate complex security protocols, including mandatory personal information submissions, equipment inventorying, and specific behavioral restrictions when working within correctional institutions.
