Barber and Beautician Services

The Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD) is seeking a licensed barber to provide services at the McLennan County State Juvenile Correctional Facility in Mart, Texas. The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for barber and beautician services, specifically requiring the provision of approximately 200-265 haircuts per month for youth residents. The service will be performed in a two-chair campus barber shop, with required services including basic clipper cuts, edge-ups, and trimmer cuts for both male and female youth. The service provider must possess a current Texas Barber License, complete Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Education, pass comprehensive background checks, and undergo fingerprinting. The contract term runs from February 1, 2025, through August 31, 2025, with an optional one-year extension available from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. Bids are due on January 27, 2025, at 2:00 PM, and services must be delivered during weekday daytime hours according to the facility's schedule. Pricing will be on a per-haircut basis, with no guaranteed minimum quantities, and the facility will provide all necessary supplies.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documents. The previous contract holder was Miles Adanandus Barber Shop, which had a winning bid of $21.49 per haircut. The facility does not guarantee a minimum number of haircuts, and payment will be based solely on actual services rendered, documented through the INS-800 haircutting log. The service provider may utilize additional licensed individuals, but they must also pass background checks and receive facility approval. Monthly invoicing is required by the 10th of the following month, accompanied by a completed Hair Cut Log. While no specific budget range was provided, the solicitation includes bidder preferences under Rule 1 TAC 113.8 for Texas-produced supplies and services. Bids can be submitted via fax to 254-297-8393 or emailed to Deb.baize@tjjd.texas.gov, with questions directed to Deb Baize at (254) 297-8209.
