Commercial Motor Vehicle Decal, Handbook and Pictorial

The Texas contract vehicle 255-A1 encompasses the procurement of commercial motor vehicle safety materials, including decals, handbooks, and pictorial reference documents. Specifically, the vehicle facilitates the acquisition of Level 1 Commercial Motor Vehicle Inspection decals (provided in sheets of 12 decals per sheet), North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria Handbooks, and associated safety pictorials. These materials support the state's commercial vehicle safety inspection programs and serve as critical resources for highway patrol and motor carrier enforcement personnel in conducting vehicle inspections and documenting compliance with federal and state safety standards.

The master Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) is managed by CPA Contract Management on behalf of the State of Texas and is awarded to the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), a Maryland-based organization. The contract operates as a term contract covering statewide procurement within Texas under UNSPSC codes related to operational manuals, user documentation, and software reference materials, as well as NIGP codes for windshield decals and related safety materials. The current award period runs from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with the vehicle established to support ongoing procurement needs for the Texas Department of Public Safety.

The IDV has generated 15 distinct awards since its inception in September 2019, reflecting incremental procurements of safety materials. Award values have ranged from $970 to $52,288, with cumulative spending patterns demonstrating consistent demand for decal sheets and handbook units. Purchase orders under this vehicle typically involve quantities ranging from 250 to 2,700 decal sheets and 350 to 1,075 handbook units, maintaining standardized unit pricing throughout the contract period. All awards have been issued to the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance with delivery consistently directed to the Texas Highway Patrol in Austin, Texas, supporting the state's ongoing commercial vehicle safety inspection operations.
