Physical Inventory Services

The opportunity is a physical inventory audit services contract posted by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) for nine warehouses located along the State Water Project. The anticipated term of the agreement is two (2) years, with an optional one (1) year renewal. Bidders must have experienced and qualified personnel with a minimum of three (3) years of experience, and must provide resumes and policies/procedures for the physical inventory process. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) outlines the bid submission requirements, evaluation and selection process, tax delinquency verification, and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) disclosure. Bids are due by October 31, 2024, and the anticipated start date of the agreement is March 1, 2025. A mandatory pre-bid conference at each warehouse location was previously scheduled but has been cancelled due to lack of attendance.

The solicitation has been exempted from the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) Participation Program requirements, but bidders can voluntarily utilize DVBE subcontractors to receive an incentive. Small business bidders can also receive a 5% calculation preference. The IFB does not provide any information regarding possible award values or budget ranges, nor does it list any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The cancellation of the IFB and Pre-Bid Conference suggests that the procurement process has been suspended or terminated at this time.
