All products must be new, unused, latest model in current production, and in first-class condition. The solicitation was posted on March 19, 2026, with a questions submission deadline of March 27, 2026, responses to questions due by April 1, 2026, and bid responses due by 1:30 p.m. Central Time on April 14, 2026. No site visit or bidders' conference was specified.

Vendors must provide firm, all-inclusive, fixed pricing on a per-unit basis for each line item and must factor in a 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee. Warranty coverage must extend for a minimum of one year from product acceptance or the manufacturer's standard warranty, whichever is longer, including all parts, labor, and materials at no charge. Delivery is required statewide on a FOB Destination basis with shipping included in unit prices. Award will be made to the vendor providing the best value to the state, potentially with different line items awarded to different vendors based on lowest price per comparable tank capacity. Contractors must maintain minimum commercial general liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $500,000 combined single limit for automobile liability, with proof of insurance required within five business days of award notification. The solicitation contains no set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular types of organizations. The procurement does not establish or guarantee minimum purchase volumes; quantities listed in the Mandatory Price Sheet (approximately 26 individual units) are estimates only based on previous one-year usage data, and no specific budget or award value ranges are provided.
