About this file

This is Amendment No. 1 to Bid No. IW197200A issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Contracts and Procurement Department. The amendment extends the bid opening date from February 14, 2025 to February 21, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. Central Time. The procurement is for thin client units with desired order quantities of 50 units, though quantities may vary based on demand. Required technical specifications include Windows 10 IOT Enterprise LTSC Version 21H2, minimum 29GB storage, 8GB RAM, RJ45 network port, 4+ USB ports, AMD A6 Micro-6500T APU 1.20 GHz processor, and AMD Radeon R4 Graphics. Additional requirements include UFW program, USB device filtering, autorun scripting software, auto login functionality, WES Management Program, TermPro Software, DEVMAN utility software, display/DVI ports, and BIOS lockdown capability.

The TDCJ has designated this as a brand-specific proprietary purchase under section 2155.067 of Government Code, though they encourage offers from all qualified respondents who can provide the requested items. When Dell Technologies informed that the exact model requested was unavailable and offered their Optiplex 3000 Thin Client as an alternative with comparable specifications, TDCJ maintained their position on the brand-specific nature of the purchase. Any alternative solutions for utility software must come at no additional cost to the agency.
