This Amendment No. 1 is issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Contracts and Procurement Department for Bid No. IW254979, which establishes a blanket purchase order for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts for New Holland tractors and implements. The amendment provides clarification to bidder inquiries regarding the procurement scope. The original bid opening date of July 1, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. has been revised to July 7, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. In response to Question 1, TDCJ clarified that the replacement parts encompass all types of parts compatible with New Holland tractors and implements, to be ordered on an as-needed basis without a predetermined list of specific part numbers or OEM part descriptions. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this amendment in their bid submission, either on the bid face or by returning a copy of the amendment notice, or their bid may not receive consideration.

The amendment does not provide specific pricing terms, set-asides, or funding details beyond what was established in the original solicitation. Bidders must be authorized OEM parts distributors or dealers for New Holland equipment and possess both a Texas Identification Number and Federal Employer Identification Number prior to contract award. Pricing must be submitted on prescribed forms with unit pricing remaining firm for 30 days from the due date, quoted F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid unless otherwise specified. The TDCJ reserves the right to award based on low line-item response, low total of line-items, or any other combination serving the state's best interest, and may reject any or all items at its sole discretion. Responses must comply with E-Verify requirements, non-discrimination provisions, cybersecurity training, tax exemption compliance, and various certifications regarding debarment status, conflicts of interest, and antitrust violations.
