This is a Preferences Schedule form for a Texas state and local contract opportunity (Solicitation Number 601310000103464) that outlines the various preference categories available to bidders under Chapter 2155 of the Government Code and 34 TAC 20.306. The document presents three main preference categories: Tie-Bid Preferences, Source Preferences, and Specification Preferences. Tie-Bid Preferences include Texas-produced supplies and materials, Texas bidders, Texas agricultural products and services, United States-produced supplies, products from formerly contaminated property, products from economically depressed or blighted areas, and goods from service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. Source Preferences encompass products and services from persons with disabilities through the State Use Program, vendors meeting air-quality standards for work in designated nonattainment areas, and contractors providing higher nutritional value foods. Specification Preferences include products made of recycled, remanufactured, or environmentally sensitive materials, energy-efficient products, rubberized asphalt paving materials, and recycled motor oil and lubricants.

All preference options listed on the form are marked as deselected (Off), indicating that no specific preferences have been claimed or activated for this particular solicitation. The form serves as a template to allow bidders to claim applicable preferences if they meet the criteria, but in this instance, the contracting entity has not designated any mandatory or tie-breaking preferences for bid evaluation purposes.
