Cargo Containers

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) Statewide Procurement Division (SPD) is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for cargo containers and associated modifications, primarily for use by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The IFB seeks sealed responses for new and used 20-foot and 40-foot cargo containers, with options for roll-up side doors, spray foam insulation, vents, mini-split HVAC units, and electrical packages. Detailed technical specifications are provided, and the containers must meet all federal and state safety, health, lighting, and noise regulations. The contract term is initially from June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025, with four one-year renewal options. Responses are due by July 15, 2024 at 1:30pm Central Time, and a pre-bid conference is scheduled for June 20, 2024 at 1:00pm.

The IFB does not mention any set-aside requirements or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not provide information on incumbent vendors or current contractors. Pricing must be firm, all-inclusive, fixed prices with provisions for annual adjustments based on the Producer Price Index. The contract will be awarded on a line item basis to the vendors providing the best value, but CPA does not guarantee any minimum purchase volume. The IFB does not specify funding sources, amounts, or award values.
