Biomonitoring Sampling at the Beto Unit

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is seeking bids to establish a blanket purchase order (BPO) for the procurement of biomonitoring sampling services at the Beto Unit, per Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) mandates. The requested services include regular sampling and analysis of water and wastewater at the facility, with specific requirements around sampling and testing frequencies outlined in the Invitation for Bid (IFB) document. Responses to the IFB are due by August 23, 2024, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The contract term is one year with the option to renew for up to four additional one-year periods. Bidders must submit unit pricing for each sampling and testing service as part of their response.

The IFB does not specify any set-asides or preferences for certain types of organizations. The document also does not indicate if there is an incumbent contractor currently providing these services. Funding for the contract will be provided through TDCJ's operating budget, but the specific funding source and amount are not disclosed. The total award value or budget range is also not provided in the available documentation.
