SB Bidders ONLY* FPCM - COR Dishwasher RFQ I-001135 03-A_RS

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ I-001135 03-A) for the procurement of a commercial dishwasher system specifically for the CSP Corcoran facility located at 4001 King Avenue, Corcoran, California. The primary procurement is for one Stero ER-64 Rack Conveyor Series dishwasher configured for 208V, 3-phase operation with electric rinse booster heat and right-to-left operation in a correctional package. Deliverables include the dishwasher unit, one hour of demonstration and training for CDCR personnel, and two copies of operational manuals and submittals. The delivery timeline requires the selected vendor to deliver the equipment within 15 calendar days after receipt of order. The RFQ specifies that bids must be submitted via email to roberta.sanchez@cdcr.ca.gov or by fax by the bid due date of December 9, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, meeting technical specifications, and determining the lowest responsible bidder who meets all administrative and technical requirements.

This procurement opportunity is exclusively reserved for California-certified Small Business (SB) bidders under the SB/DVBE Option procurement method per Government Code Section 14838.5. Bidders must submit pricing on an all-or-none basis with F.O.B. Destination terms, with all shipping costs included in the unit price. Additional mandatory documentation required includes the completed RFQ form, Bidder Declaration (GSPD-05-105), Darfur Contracting Act Certification, Postconsumer Content Certification, and various other state-mandated certifications. Vendors must provide pricing for both compliant recycled content products and non-compliant products for comparative purposes. A standard one-year warranty covering parts, labor, and travel time during normal working hours is required. While no specific award value is listed, the procurement is for a single dishwasher unit, suggesting a relatively modest contract value consistent with equipment procurement for a correctional facility.
