Buying the machine is half of a corrections laundry award, because the solicitation almost always requires installation and operator training in the same package. The labor scope and the wage terms decide the cost and the schedule as much as the equipment.

What the solicitation contains

A corrections laundry solicitation that bundles installation sets the rigging into a secure facility, the utility connections, the startup and commissioning, the operator training, and often the removal of the old equipment. Where the state applies prevailing wage to the installation labor, certified payroll comes with it.

What decides the award

The install scope and the wage terms decide whether a bid is priced correctly. A bidder who misses the prevailing wage on the install labor underprices the work and a bidder who misses the secure access requirements misjudges the schedule. The agent flags the rigging, the connections, the training, the removal, and the wage so the labor is priced into the bid.

How the agent handles it

Our agent reads the installation and training scope from each corrections solicitation, separates equipment from labor, and scores the fit against your install and training capability in that territory. It surfaces the wage terms and the secure access requirements so your team prices the whole job.

The agent reads the labor scope that decides the real cost of a corrections award and shows it next to the equipment. See the state and corrections laundry bid agent in the interactive demo.
