Two 34-passenger prisoner transport modules

The Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC) is seeking proposals from bidders to provide two 30-34-passenger prisoner transport modules designed and constructed to meet correctional needs. The DOC will separately procure the chassis on which the modules will be mounted, so bidders are not required to submit a chassis as part of their proposal. The modules must be delivered no later than May 31, 2026. The DOC will evaluate bids and select the Lowest Responsive and Responsible Bidder to negotiate a final contract. The RFP includes a pre-bid conference on October 30, 2024, and bids are due by 4:00 PM on November 14, 2024.

The state and local contract opportunity covers multiple jurisdictions across Washington, including counties, cities, and census-designated places. The RFP does not specify any minimum participation requirements for small, minority-owned, women-owned, or veteran-owned businesses, but encourages their participation. Pricing will be evaluated as part of the overall best value determination, but the RFP does not provide any specific pricing terms, set-asides, or budget ranges. The contract documents do not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors for this procurement.
