This is a Preferences Schedule for a Texas state and local contract opportunity (Solicitation No. 601440000053560) for RISA-3D Software Subscription, Maintenance, and Support. The document outlines the preference categories available under Chapter 2155 of the Government Code and 34 TAC 20.306 that bidders may claim to receive tie-bid advantages. The preferences are organized into three main categories: Tie-Bid Preferences, Source Preferences, and Specification Preferences. Tie-Bid Preferences include items produced or offered by Texas entities, agricultural products, United States-produced supplies, products from service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and goods from economically depressed areas. Source Preferences encompass products and services from persons with disabilities through the State Use Program and vendors meeting air-quality standards. Specification Preferences include products made of recycled or environmentally sensitive materials, energy-efficient products, rubberized asphalt paving materials, and recycled motor oil and lubricant.

All preference options listed in the Preferences Schedule are marked as "Off," indicating that no specific preferences have been selected or activated for this particular solicitation. This means that bidders will not receive any tie-bid advantages based on the preference categories outlined, and all eligible bids will be evaluated on equal footing regardless of the source, ownership, or environmental characteristics of the products or services offered.
