Clinic Supplies, Equipment, and Related Items (Catalog)

Fort Bend Independent School District (FBISD) is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive catalog of clinic supplies, equipment, and related items to support school clinics, health services staff, special education personnel, and career and technical education operations. The procurement covers three distinct categories: Category A (General Clinic Supplies), Category B (Medical Equipment), and Category C (Related Items), which include products such as tongue depressors, glucose monitors, blood pressure cuffs, wheelchairs, automated external defibrillators (AEDs), disposable underpads, and adult-size baby wipes. A pre-proposal virtual meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, at 10:00 AM CST via Microsoft Teams, with questions due by Monday, January 12, 2026, at 10:00 AM CST. Proposals are due Tuesday, January 20, 2026, at 10:00 AM CST through the FBISD Bonfire e-bidding portal. The evaluation criteria include pricing (30 points), vendor reputation (5 points), quality of goods and services (25 points), alignment with district needs (25 points), past relationship with the district (5 points), long-term cost considerations (10 points), and acceptance of standard terms and conditions (pass/fail).

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned for disadvantaged enterprises. Only authorized dealers may bid on requested equipment, and vendors may be required to provide manufacturer certification of authorization. The contract term is three years with an option for two additional one-year renewals, and FBISD reserves the right to award contracts by section, line item, group, single award, dual award, or multiple awards based on best value considerations. Vendors must submit a Certificate of Insurance upon award notification and maintain coverage throughout the contract term. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, vendors must provide pricing inclusive of shipping, delivery, handling, and freight charges, with FBISD not paying additional shipping costs. Successful vendors will be expected to complete multiple certifications, including conflict of interest disclosures, debarment certifications, and compliance with federal and state requirements. The district emphasizes a comprehensive evaluation process that goes beyond simply selecting the lowest bidder, focusing on overall value and meeting the specific needs of the district's healthcare and educational support infrastructure.
