ACA - RE-Accreditation Services

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is requesting bids to establish a purchase order for re-accreditation services provided by the American Correctional Association under Section 2155.067 of the Texas Government Code, with bids due September 18, 2026. This is a proprietary specification procurement requiring exact conformance — bids proposing only the specified brand name and service parameters will be considered; no deviations are permitted for award determination.

The scope is re-accreditation services delivered exclusively by the American Correctional Association. The procurement requires respondents to provide a Texas Identification Number and Federal Employer Identification Number prior to contract award.

Pricing is firm for 30 days from the response due date and quoted on an F.O.B. destination basis, freight prepaid and allowed. The TDCJ reserves the right to award on the basis of low line-item response, low total of line items, or any combination serving the best interest of the State. The resulting contract may be extended up to three months at the agency's sole discretion. The contract is subject to termination or cancellation without penalty based on the availability of state funds and legislative appropriation, with no quantity guarantees provided. Purchases for State of Texas use are exempt from state and federal sales and excise tax.
