Bolt HEX M18 x 1. 5 x 65 -REF 2096517

Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) is seeking to procure a specific hardware component: a Bolt Hex M18 X 1.5 X 65, referenced as item 2096517, for use in its Texas operations. This procurement is a standard purchase order process occurring within Dallas County, with a solicitation posted on December 30, 2025, and a response deadline of January 5, 2026. The procurement involves a single specialized bolt meeting exact dimensional specifications, which suggests this is likely part of a maintenance, repair, or infrastructure improvement project. The purchase order terms emphasize critical delivery timelines, with the authority reserving the right to reject submissions that do not meet specified delivery schedules. Vendors must provide supplies that are of merchantable quality, suitable for the intended use, and compliant with all specified technical requirements. The contracting process includes rigorous inspection and acceptance protocols, with goods subject to evaluation at the destination point.

The contract opportunity appears to have several notable legal and compliance requirements for potential vendors. Respondents must certify they are not listed on the Texas Comptroller's list of companies with contracts to foreign terrorist organizations and must affirm they do not boycott Israel. The procurement mandates equal employment opportunity practices without discrimination. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, vendors must meet comprehensive legal and ethical standards. The payment terms indicate invoices will be processed within 30 days of receipt, with the contract governed by Texas state law and any potential disputes to be adjudicated in Dallas County. Though a specific contract value is not provided, the technical specificity of the procurement suggests this is a targeted, potentially low-value acquisition focused on precise equipment specifications. Vendors must be prepared to provide commercial warranties and meet stringent technical and legal compliance standards to be considered for this contract opportunity.
