About this file

This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Killeen Independent School District for equipment repair services for the District's Grounds and Custodial Departments. The solicitation is structured as a "percent discount" proposal rather than specific line items, with the District intending to award multiple vendors to fulfill the contract on an as-needed basis. The proposal submission deadline is July 30, 2026 at 2:00 PM (CT), with a questions deadline of July 13, 2026 at 2:00 PM (CT). The contract will be effective on or around August 7, 2026 through August 6, 2027 and may be renewed for four additional one-year increments, with a final expiration date of August 7, 2031. The District also reserves the right to extend the contract for an additional sixty days if necessary to avoid a contract lapse.

Vendors must submit proposals based on an hourly labor rate for equipment service and repair labor and a percentage discount off current published list prices for replacement parts. The pricing structure allows for different discounts associated with various machines used within the District. The solicitation requires submission of a completed W-9 form and, if applicable, a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire. Multiple federal compliance certifications are required, including equal employment opportunity, debarment and suspension, clean air and water acts, and domestic preference provisions. Proposals must be submitted electronically or manually to the Purchasing Office at 2301 Atkinson Avenue, Portable #2, Killeen, Texas 76543, directed to Theresa Camacho, Purchasing Specialist, at 254-336-0107 or theresa.camacho@killeenisd.org. The District reserves the right to award contracts to multiple vendors and explicitly prohibits vendor contact with District personnel during the proposal and evaluation process.
