Awards, Trophies, Promotional, and Apparel Items

Mission Consolidated Independent School District (Mission CISD) in Mission, Texas is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive contract to provide awards, trophies, promotional, and apparel items through RFP #300-26-0. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to supply a wide range of products including awards, trophies, plaques, medals, ribbons, promotional items like pens, mugs, and lanyards, and apparel such as t-shirts, polos, and jackets. The initial contract term will be one year with potential for two additional one-year renewals, creating a maximum contract duration of three years. Proposals are due on September 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM (CT), and will be evaluated using a 100-point scoring system that considers price (35 points), vendor reputation (20 points), product quality (25 points), alignment with district needs (10 points), past district relationship (5 points), and proposal completeness (5 points). Vendors must provide comprehensive details about their corporate background, references, payment acceptance capabilities, customization options, warranty information, shipping terms, and return policies.

The district encourages participation from Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB), Minority and Women's Business Enterprises (MWBE), and Small Business Enterprises (SBE), indicating a commitment to diverse vendor engagement. Vendors are required to provide insurance, comply with criminal history review requirements, and demonstrate ability to deliver products within specified timeframes. The solicitation requires vendors to disclose their Dun & Bradstreet number, market position, and whether they have their principal place of business in the state or employ at least 500 persons locally. Mission CISD is tax-exempt and makes no guarantees about purchase quantities, reserving the right to award multiple contracts and terminate the agreement if funding is not appropriated. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the RFP suggests a potentially significant contract value covering a broad spectrum of awards, promotional, and apparel items for the school district.
