R-27018 Permanent Modular Buildings

The Los Angeles Unified School District is issuing Request for Information R-27018 to identify providers capable of delivering pre-engineered or prefabricated permanent modular buildings for TK-12 classrooms and associated support spaces. The primary objective is to gather market data to establish minimum performance standards and guide specifications for future design-build procurements. The District is specifically seeking systems that are approved by or pursuing approval from the Division of the State Architect (DSA) via Pre-Checked drawings to ensure installations can be completed without significant modification. Interested parties must submit their responses via Ariba Discovery by December 28, 2026. Required documentation includes a narrative response limited to twenty pages, a performance response matrix, planning cost and schedule information, and evidence of DSA approval. Additionally, respondents must provide technical drawings, performance certifications, and photographs of completed California K-12 projects. The District is focusing on sustainability features such as all-electric design and CHPS alignment, as well as compliance with prevailing wage requirements and safety standards for school facilities. As this is an RFI, it is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or a commitment to contract.
