Alpine AOD Furniture

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is soliciting bids for furniture to equip the Air Operations Division's new office space at the Alpine hangar location in Blanco County. The procurement involves 13 line items encompassing 66 individual pieces of office furniture, including five casegoods with lock cores, two wardrobe/storage units, one return desk unit, one desk unit with breakfront, one high-back organizer, and three accessories. Electronic bid responses must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. Central Time on November 19, 2025, to DPS_Solicit_Response@dps.texas.gov or via the DPS Online Bid Room. The anticipated contract award date is November 28, 2025, with a contract term of one year and potential six-month extension. Delivery will be required to the Alpine-Casparis Municipal Airport in Alpine, Texas, with Lisa Resendez serving as the Contract Monitor and Mackenzi Morgan as the Contract Administrator. DPS will evaluate responses using a best value standard, assessing past performance through the Vendor Performance Tracking System, reference checks, and vendor performance history. Bidders must submit pricing on the Mandatory Pricing Schedule with all costs included, and pricing must remain valid for 180 days following the solicitation opening.

The solicitation allows for multiple contract awards, but no more than one bidder per line item. Vendors must complete several mandatory forms, including the Application for Texas Identification Number (AP-152), Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certifications (W-9), and potentially the Direct Deposit Authorization Form. While no specific Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) set-aside is mentioned, the procurement documents indicate preferences for Texas bidders, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and other qualifying categories. The Department of Public Safety guarantees no minimum compensation and will award contracts on a no-minimum, as-needed basis, with payment contingent upon DPS approval of delivered commodities. Bidders should note that all bids are subject to the Texas Public Information Act and will remain confidential until the evaluation is complete. The solicitation emphasizes strict compliance with submission requirements, with potential disqualification for vendors who fail to meet the specified criteria or provide incomplete documentation.
