Capital Equipment: Heavy Equipment & Machinery

Nueces County, Texas is soliciting bids to establish catalog contracts for capital equipment — heavy equipment and machinery — with a contract term of October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 and proposals due August 17, 2026.

The solicitation uses a catalog contract structure, permitting ordering of equipment throughout the contract period without individual competitive solicitations for each purchase. Vendors must submit fixed catalog prices that remain firm for the full contract term. Award will be made to qualified vendors whose bids meet the state's requirements and offer competitive pricing and reliable service. The source indicates that set-asides for small businesses, minority-owned businesses, or other designated vendor categories may apply under Texas procurement regulations, though specific set-aside details are not provided in the available materials. Funding for purchases will be provided by state agencies or departments utilizing the catalog contract for their capital equipment needs.
