Automotive parts

The state and/or local contracting opportunity is for the procurement of automotive parts by the State of Texas, specifically the jurisdictions of Walker County and several districts within the city of Houston. The Invitation for Bids (IFB) seeks bids for a 3-year contract with two 1-year renewal options to supply a range of automotive parts. The bid submission deadline is December 7, 2023, and a mandatory bidder's conference is scheduled for November 30, 2023. The contract is expected to be awarded on January 15, 2024. The IFB specifies pricing terms, including a fixed percentage discount from the manufacturer's published price list. The total estimated annual spend across all participating jurisdictions is $5 million, to be funded from their general operating budgets.

The IFB does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is no incumbent contractor identified. The IFB does not provide details on any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The contract value is not explicitly stated, but the $5 million annual spend provides an indication of the potential award value.
