Armored Vehicle Courier Services

Pflugerville Independent School District (PfISD) is seeking armored vehicle courier services for district-wide currency, coin, and check transportation across its 36 locations in Travis County, Texas. The procurement requires a minimum two-person crew in an armored vehicle to conduct scheduled weekly pickups every Wednesday, with same-day delivery to the Loomis Vault in Austin. The service will commence on April 1, 2026, and continue through March 31, 2027, with operations spanning all district administration and secondary campuses during the regular school year and limited summer months. Vendor proposals must be submitted through the Euna portal by 2:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on January 6, 2026, with vendor questions due by December 11, 2025, and district answers posted by December 16, 2025. The district will evaluate proposals based on a 100-point scoring system that includes purchase price (1-25 points), vendor reputation (1-15 points), service quality (1-20 points), service alignment with district needs (1-10 points), past vendor relationships (1-10 points), impact on historically underutilized business compliance (1-5 points), and total long-term cost (1-15 points).

PfISD demonstrates a commitment to encouraging participation from minority and female-owned businesses by requesting vendors indicate their HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) certification status from the State of Texas. Vendors must comply with Texas Government Code Chapter 2252.908 (HB 1295), which requires disclosure of interested parties for contracts requiring Board of Trustees action or valued at $1 million or more. The district reserves the right to award one or more contracts and will require successful bidders to provide copies of all applicable licenses and permits. Contracts exceeding $50,000 will require board approval, while smaller contracts can be initiated within 30 days of Purchasing Director approval. The contract includes four optional one-year extensions subject to mutual written agreement and annual board approval. Pricing will be quoted on a time and material basis with hourly rates, and while specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive service requirements suggest a significant annual investment in armored courier services across the district's extensive network of schools.
