Additional information is available at the following link: https://www.ousd.org/facilities-planning-management/opportunities/contract-opportunities Inclusion in both the Pool and District's prequalification database is required for consideration for future work but such inclusion does not guarantee award of any contract.

Pre-qualification applications must be submitted to the District at least ten (10) business days prior to the scheduled bid opening. If you have already prequalified with the District within the past year, you do not need to re-qualify for this Project. In addition, if applicable, while MEP subcontractor prequalification does not need to occur prior to submitting a proposal, the contractor will need to have them prequalified prior to finalizing a price for any phase of work where the subcontractor will be used. Proposers must submit prequalification applications not later than ten (10) working days prior to the RFQ and/or RFP response deadline. However, proposers are encouraged to submit prequalification packets as soon as possible, as a submission ten (10) working days prior to such deadline will not guarantee timely prequalification. It is the responsibility of each proposer to ensure that it is prequalified not less than five (5) working days prior to the deadline for RFQ and/or RFP submissions.
