Prequalification for Pomona USD 25-26

The Pomona Unified School District (PUSD) is conducting a prequalification process for prime and specialty trade contractors interested in bidding on district construction projects valued at $1,000,000 or more, specifically those funded through the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 or future state school bonds. The procurement targets contractors with specific California license types including C-4, C-7, C-10, C-16, C-20, C-34, C-36, C-38, C-42, C-43, and C-46. Contractors must complete a comprehensive prequalification application through PQBids' online system, which will assess and rate their qualifications for potential district project bidding. The prequalification process will determine each contractor's eligibility to bid on district projects within one year of approval, subject to their individual rating threshold. The application period is open from October 9, 2025, through October 9, 2026, with applications to be submitted via https://pqbids.com/pomona-unified-school-district/. Evaluation criteria will focus on contractor capabilities, financial stability, past performance, and licensing credentials.

While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the prequalification process appears open to all qualifying contractors meeting the specified license type requirements. The procurement covers Los Angeles County and is not restricted to disadvantaged enterprises, though standard equal opportunity principles likely apply. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the documentation. The district has not disclosed specific project budgets or award values, but the $1,000,000 project threshold suggests substantial potential contract opportunities. Prequalification applications are treated as confidential documents, though contractor names will be considered public records. Interested contractors can direct inquiries to Ed Govea, Director of Purchasing and Warehouse, and the prequalification notice will be published in multiple platforms including the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, BidNet Direct, McGraw-Hill Construction Dodge, and BidAmerica on October 9, 2025, and October 16, 2025.
