About this file

This document is an amendment to a bid solicitation issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) for the purchase of police tear gas. The amendment provides clarification on the required manufacturing year of 2025 for the tear gas cans, which must also be labeled with an expiration year and serial number. The original bid opening date of November 6, 2024 has been extended to November 7, 2024.

The bid solicitation seeks to procure police tear gas for the TDCJ. The agency requires a 5-year warranty on the tear gas cans, which necessitates the 2025 manufacturing year, as TDCJ conducts an annual regional rotation of chemical agents and ammunition. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this amendment, and failure to do so may result in the bid not being considered.

Questions (Q) and Answers (A) for the TDCJ and extend bid opening date – Purchase of Police Tear Gas.

Q. For this solicitation, on page 4 of 7- Item 1 it states:

*** MUST HAVE MANUFACTURER YEAR ONLY OF 2025***

Is this a mistake as product is still being manufactured for the year of 2024

A. We cannot accept the chemical agent if it is not manufactured in year of 2025.

The specs also include "must have expiration year and serial number labeled on cans". The warranty request in the specs as well states "Warranty: 5 years from year of manufacture".

Security Operations conducts a Regional Chemical Agent and Ammunition Rotation yearly on the units in the State. Due to the warranty requested for the cans of chemical agents, they need to be manufactured in the year 2025. The cans will be labeled with an expiration year and serial number showing they were manufactured in 2025.

Extended Bid Opening Date: November 07, 2024
