The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Contracts and Procurement Department is soliciting bids for the procurement and installation of a specific industrial air compressor through Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. IW209190. The procurement requires one Quincy QGS-30PM rotary screw air compressor package with precise technical specifications, including 30 HP, floor-mounted, three-phase, air-cooled configuration, operating at 230/460V, 125 PSI full load, 114 CFM capacity, and 67 DBA sound level. The successful vendor must provide comprehensive manufacturer's standard manuals covering installation, operation, maintenance, electrical schematics, and parts documentation upon delivery. Key submission deadlines include questions due by February 11, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with answers posted by February 13, 2025, and bid opening scheduled for February 24, 2025, at 3:00 PM. Bidders can submit electronically to BIDS@TDCJ.TEXAS.GOV or via hard copy to the TDCJ Contracts and Procurement Department in Huntsville, TX, with the delivery location specified as TDCJ Telford - Unit Maintenance in New Boston, TX.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on participating organizations. Vendors must maintain specific insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in liability, $500,000 in auto insurance, and statutory worker's compensation. Electronic submissions are required to be in Microsoft Office formats or PDF, with a 10 MB email size limit, and multiple emails are permitted for larger submissions. No faxed bids will be accepted.
