This document is a prospective use solicitation link for the TXSMART Buy program administered through TIPS USA (Texas Intermunicipal Purchasing System), a procurement consortium serving state and local entities in Texas. The solicitation pertains to Energy and Water Efficiency Goods and Services, structured as a two-part acquisition with a Job Order Contract (JOC) component. The document directs interested vendors to access complete solicitation materials through the TIPS USA vendor portal at https://www.tips-usa.com/vendors/bid-schedule, where detailed specifications, quantities, timelines, bidders' conference information, and award criteria are available.

As a prospective use solicitation rather than a request for specific project goods or services, this opportunity establishes a vendor pool and pricing framework for future energy and water efficiency procurements by participating Texas state and local government entities. The two-part structure with JOC provisions allows for flexible task ordering and pricing arrangements. Vendors interested in competing should consult the complete bid documents on the TIPS USA platform for specific pricing requirements, evaluation criteria, contract terms, renewal options, and any applicable set-asides or incumbent considerations.
