About this file
This document is an Addendum to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the Statewide Procurement Division (SPD), a division of the Comptroller of Public Accounts, for Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) inspection decals and out of service criteria handbooks and pictorials. The IFB solicits responses for these proprietary items, with a major customer being the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), a CVSA member. The Addendum provides responses to vendor questions regarding specifications, pricing, and the bidding process. It clarifies that vendors must bid on all line items to be considered for award, and that samples will not be provided.
The current contract information and previous award details can be accessed through the state's contract database and via open records requests. The Addendum also notes that CVSA does not sell directly to vendors, only to its members such as Texas DPS, which may pose challenges for vendors attempting to source these proprietary items.

Question 9: I did not see any addendum in this solicitation and not sure if vendors asked the questions I have and it has already been answered.
It applies this solicitation is for the Texas DPS who is a CVSA member and the items requested are realistically supposed to be sourced from CVSA.
CVSA has acknowledged Texas DPS membership and applicable member pricing, however, they do not sell to vendors and will not make decals for vendors except the member which is Texas DPS.
I'm not sure how realistic it is for a vendor to source these items in this circumstance
Answer 9: Reference Question and Answer 1.
