This is a bid solicitation document from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) for the establishment of a blanket purchase order covering OEM replacement parts for New Holland tractors and implements. The procurement supports TDCJ's operational needs across its facilities by providing access to parts compatible with New Holland agricultural equipment. Bids are due July 1, 2026, and responses must be submitted in writing on prescribed forms with unit pricing that remains firm for 30 days from the due date. The contract will operate as a blanket purchase order, allowing TDCJ to issue individual purchase orders against the established agreement as inventory needs arise.

Pricing must be quoted F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid and allowed unless otherwise specified, with unit prices governing in the event of extension errors. Bidders must be authorized OEM parts distributors or dealers for New Holland equipment and must hold both a Texas Identification Number and Federal Employer Identification Number prior to contract award. 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. All responses must comply with E-Verify requirements, non-discrimination provisions, cybersecurity training, tax exemption compliance, and various certifications regarding antitrust violations, debarment status, child support obligations, and conflicts of interest. All electrical items must meet OSHA standards and bear appropriate listings from UL, FMRC, or NEMA. The contract is subject to availability of state funds and legislative appropriation, with termination allowed for non-appropriation without penalty.
