The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Inland Fisheries Division is soliciting bids for a comprehensive 20-foot aluminum boat package through Invitation for Bid No. 802-25-58839R. The procurement specifically requires one 20-foot aluminum boat, one 150HP outboard motor, and one boat trailer, with detailed technical specifications outlined in the July 2025 solicitation documents. Only actively licensed Marine Dealers, Manufacturers, or Authorized Distributors are eligible to submit bids for this contract. The bid evaluation will be conducted using best value criteria, which includes consideration of lowest price, boat design and safety, vendor qualifications, delivery schedule, and past performance. The bid is due on July 31, 2025, at 2:00 pm CST, with the complete boat package to be delivered as a fully assembled single unit to the TPWD Inland Fisheries Jasper District Office in Brookeland, Texas. Bidders are required to provide comprehensive specifications, warranties, and estimated delivery times for each component of the boat package.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will commence upon issuance and automatically expire after delivery and final acceptance by TPWD. For property reporting purposes, TPWD requires separate line-item costs for each component of the boat package, including the boat, motor, trailer, and delivery fee. The department reserves the right to pick up the package to potentially save on freight charges. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement suggests a comprehensive package procurement with potential flexibility in vendor selection based on the best value criteria. The contract appears to be a single-award procurement focused on obtaining a specific boat package for the Inland Fisheries Division's operational needs in Johnson County, Texas.
