The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 25-0028a for Portable Toilet Services in Los Angeles County, targeting two specific field office locations at 403 W. Avenue 33 and 11514 Felton Avenue. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide, deliver, and maintain four portable toilets with flush and sink capabilities, with two units allocated to each location. Key deliverables include bi-weekly interior cleaning services, regular pumping, and comprehensive maintenance of the portable facilities. The contract term is set from November 1, 2025, through October 31, 2026, with potential renewal for an additional two years. Bid submissions are due by October 15, 2025, at 2:00 PM PT, with cost proposals evaluated on the same date. Evaluation criteria will focus on determining the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with specific attention to meeting all technical specifications, including freshwater flushing systems, detailed cleaning procedures, and comprehensive insurance requirements.

The solicitation includes specific set-aside provisions, notably a 3% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation goal and a 5% small business preference. Potential bidders must comply with various state regulations, including providing proof of insurance, meeting licensing requirements, and adhering to chemical application and environmental standards. A DVBE incentive could potentially reduce the bid price by up to 5% for evaluation purposes. The budget display allows for monthly rate proposals covering rental, labor, and materials, with a 9.75% Los Angeles County tax on materials. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, the contract appears structured as a fixed-price agreement with consistent annual costs and multi-year service provision potential. Contractors will need to demonstrate capability to provide all necessary equipment, cleaning supplies, and services while meeting the detailed technical requirements outlined in the IFB documentation.
