About this file
This is Amendment No. 1 to Bid No. IW192927 issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Contracts and Procurement Department. The amendment provides answers to bidders' questions regarding spring fibers and cotton batting used in mattress manufacturing, along with product images. The bid opening is scheduled for January 20, 2025, at 3:00 P.M. The amendment clarifies that there are two types of cotton batting: a 26-pound version used for filling and occasional batting, and a 6.6-pound version used exclusively for batting. The materials are specifically used to cover springs on innerspring mattresses and as filling in jail mattress production.
The amendment includes detailed product images showing the front and back views of both spring cotton and jail cotton materials, along with backing material photos. A key clarification provided is that certified testing is only required with the initial purchase and subsequent purchases will not require testing unless there are changes to the product. The TDCJ notes that they occasionally send completed products for testing, and if changes occur in the provided product, new testing will be required from the vendor. There is no information about previous awards for this procurement, indicating this may be a new contract opportunity.

Question
Answer
1 May I ask about the uses of Cotton Batting and Spring Fibers? Are they used as mattress filling materials or for other purposes? Could you please provide front and back images of the actual product? If available, could you also share the previous winning bid price?
This material is used to cover the springs on the innerspring mattresses and as filling in production of jail mattresses.
The 26 pound is used as filling and occasionally batting. The 6.6 pound is only used as batting. There are no previous awards for this procurement. Pictures are attached below.
2 I wanted to make sure that the certified testing is something that you guys needed with just this bid and not every delivery correct?
Only with initial purchase, subsequent purchases it will not be required as long as there is no change in the product. We do occasionally send our completed product out for testing so if changes occur in the provided product new testing will be required from the vendor.
