Calibration Services

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is procuring calibration and preventative maintenance services for approximately 15 GEM 5000 and GEM 5000 Plus portable gas analyzers. The services required include annual factory calibration, instrument inspection, sensor calibration, firmware updates, and replacement of necessary components. All work must be performed according to the manufacturer's protocols using traceable equipment that meets the calibration specifications. Bidders must provide a unique, signed Statement of Calibration for each calibrated instrument, and inform the customer of any mechanical issues discovered during inspection prior to servicing. The RFB has a due date of October 11, 2024, and the contract term is for one year with the option to renew for up to four additional one-year terms. TCEQ reserves the right to award the contract based on low line item bid, low total of line items, or any other combination that serves the best interest of the state.

The RFB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent provider is not named, and no details on possible award values or budget ranges are provided. Funding for the contract will be provided by the state of Texas, but the specific amount is not disclosed. The RFB includes standard legal terms and conditions required for state and local government contracts, including compliance with antitrust laws, child support obligations, and various state purchasing regulations.
