Uniform and Mat Cleaning and Rental Services

The State of California, Department of General Services Procurement Division (DGS-PD) is conducting an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to establish Master Service Agreements (MSAs) for Uniform and Mat Cleaning and Rental Services. The IFB is seeking bids to provide a variety of NFPA and non-NFPA uniform items, as well as different types of floor mats, on a weekly rental and cleaning basis across 12 regions in California. The initial term of the MSAs will be for three (3) years, with two (2) optional one (1)-year extensions at the state's discretion. Bidders must possess a minimum of two (2) years of experience in commercial uniform and mat rental and cleaning services and maintain all necessary licenses, permits, and certifications. Pricing and set-up will be evaluated, and awards will be made to the responsive and responsible bidders with the lowest total bid in each region.

The IFB includes set-aside preferences for Small Businesses (SB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE). The contract will be mandatory for the DGS Facilities Management Division and non-mandatory for all other state agencies, with local government agencies having optional use of the MSAs. The historical annual spend for these services from fiscal years 2019 to 2022 was $51,825,257.95, but DGS-PD does not guarantee the volume that will be transacted under the resulting MSAs. The IFB does not specify any incumbents or funding sources.
