Brine for various locations within the Bryan District

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for procuring premade brine solution to treat roadways during snow and ice conditions within the Bryan District. The solicitation seeks 255,000 gallons of gallon-based liquid materials, with 5,000 gallons to be delivered to each of ten maintenance facilities and 200,000 gallons to the district headquarters. Vendors must submit electronic responses via PDF format (with pricing schedules in Excel) to Courtney.Skains@txdot.gov by December 3, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Central Time, with a tentative contract award date of December 8, 2025. The brine material must comply with Departmental Materials Specification DMS-6400 and Special Specification 8042, requiring products to either appear on the Materials Producer List or undergo project-specific testing and approval. All pricing must be submitted on a firm, fixed-price basis with F.O.B. destination terms, meaning vendors are responsible for all freight and delivery costs to the specified locations.

No specific set-asides or HUB subcontracting requirements are noted in this procurement. The contract will be awarded with options for renewal up to three additional like periods at TxDOT's discretion, with potential extension capability for time only up to 180 calendar days. Vendors must provide proof of insurance and comply with federal and state requirements, including E-Verify, nondiscrimination provisions, and Texas Family Code certifications. Payment will be processed within thirty days of receiving correct invoices, with early payment discounts available for vendors participating in TxDOT's Priority Invoice and Early Payment Program. While the exact contract value is not specified, the procurement involves significant volume of brine solution across multiple locations, suggesting a potentially substantial contract opportunity for qualified suppliers capable of meeting the technical specifications and delivery requirements.
