Request For Information (RFI) for Environmental Housekeeping Services-Integrated Correctional Health Services

The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services is issuing an RFI for environmental housekeeping services supporting Integrated Correctional Health Services, with responses due August 21, 2026. This is a market-sounding and capability-assessment tool prior to formal competitive procurement; no contract award will result directly from RFI responses.

The scope encompasses daily cleaning and sanitation of clinical areas, patient housing units, common areas, and administrative spaces across multiple correctional health facilities; specialized medical-facility cleaning protocols; waste management and disposal; floor care; restroom sanitation; laundry handling; and infection control procedures. Services must comply with Cal/OSHA regulations, bloodborne pathogen standards, and California Department of Public Health standards for correctional settings. The contractor must provide all necessary equipment, supplies, and materials unless otherwise specified and must maintain trained custodial personnel with certifications in biohazard handling and medical facility cleaning. Performance standards align to healthcare facility cleanliness requirements, with routine inspections and documented cleaning activities.

Specific facility locations, square footage, contract term, pricing structure, and renewal options are detailed in the attached scope-of-work and facilities-attachment documents but are not summarized in the available RFI posting. The RFI does not identify an incumbent contractor, state a budget or estimated contract value, or reference set-asides or local-vendor preferences. No pre-bid meeting, site visit, or formal question deadline is noted in the posting. The RFI serves as a preliminary inquiry to assess market capacity and vendor qualifications before the county issues a formal RFP with binding terms and competitive evaluation criteria.
