Description
The State of California, through CAL FIRE, is seeking a qualified vendor to provide uniform, linen, and mat rental services on a weekly basis for its fire protection personnel. The contractor must supply clean coveralls, shirts, pants, jackets, wiping cloths, and Terry‑towel mats, manage inventory, replace worn items, and handle all logistics (delivery, collection, and documentation) using only its own staff—no subcontracting is allowed. The contract will run for three years, with an estimated start in December 2026, and includes strict compliance requirements such as post‑consumer content certification, organic‑waste recycling, Darfur Act certification, and insurance mandates. Small‑business and DVBE preferences provide a 5 % advantage, but all required attachments must be submitted by the November 9 2026 deadline.
• Provide weekly delivery and collection of clean uniforms, linen, and mats to CAL FIRE facilities.
• Maintain detailed inventory records and replace items that become unserviceable at contractor expense.
• Must hold all necessary state business licenses, insurance coverages, and certifications (post‑consumer content, Darfur Act, etc.).
• No subcontractors permitted; work must be performed by prime contractor’s own personnel.
• Small‑business/DVBE preferences available (5 % preference/incentive) and must be documented in the submission.
