Aluminum Stock Trailer

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is requesting bids to establish a purchase order for aluminum stock trailers, with bids due July 27, 2026. The solicitation document specifies detailed construction standards, dimensions, weight capacity, and material requirements that bidders must meet. All responses must be submitted in writing and remain firm for 30 days from the due date.

Vendors must hold a Texas Identification Number (T.I.N.S.) and Federal Employer Identification Number (E.I.N.) prior to award. Standard delivery is 14 calendar days unless the respondent specifies otherwise; unrealistic delivery timelines may result in disqualification. Pricing must be quoted F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid and allowed. Purchases are exempt from state sales tax and federal excise tax; TDCJ will provide tax exemption certificates upon request.

All goods are subject to inspection and testing by authorized TDCJ personnel. Failure to meet specifications results in vendor responsibility for all testing costs. TDCJ reserves the right to award based on low line-item response, low total of line items, or any combination serving the state's best interest, and may accept or reject all or any part of any response at its sole discretion. The contract may be extended up to three months at TDCJ's sole discretion and is subject to termination without penalty due to lack of appropriated funds or legislative changes. TDCJ may also terminate for convenience with 30 days' written notice without buyout costs.

The solicitation does not indicate a specific contract value, set-aside classification, incumbent contractor, or renewal options.
