Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, issued RFP #011326-894 on March 21, 2026, for cosmetology equipment and supplies under a catalog discount bid procurement method, with proposals due April 8, 2026. The district sought multiple-award status, enabling school employees to purchase from awarded vendors based on value for specific items. The contract term runs September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with options to extend for up to two additional one-year periods if both parties agree. All pricing must include shipping and F.O.B. Destination delivery unless negotiated otherwise, and the district does not guarantee minimum purchase quantities. Vendors must submit customer references from the past five years, comply with Texas tax-exempt procurement requirements, maintain appropriate insurance naming the district as additional insured, and provide timely customer support and training at no additional charge.
