About this opportunity
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Contracts and Procurement Department is soliciting bids for dry fertilizer application services at the Pack Unit Farm Office in Navasota, TX. The invitation for bids (IFB) numbered 1M22790 requires a vendor to apply 7/17/22/4s/300 dry fertilizer using a tender applicator across approximately 1,625 acres, totaling 203.125 tons of fertilizer. The specific fertilizer blend must contain 300 pounds of composted poultry litter, with a composition of 5% nitrogen, 3% phosphorus, and 2% potassium, along with additional mineral components including muriate of potash, monoammonium phosphate, and ammonium sulfate. Bids must be electronically submitted, preferably via email to bids@tdcj.texas.gov, with a 10 MB attachment limit per email. The contract period will run from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, with the bid opening scheduled for August 1, 2025, at 3 P.M.
The procurement includes a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) subcontracting plan with a specific goal of 21.1% for commodities contracts. Vendors must demonstrate good faith efforts in subcontracting with Texas certified HUB vendors and may be required to justify their subcontracting approach through a detailed process. The bid requires vendors to provide an insurance plan with minimum liability coverage of $1,000,000 and statutory worker's compensation to protect TDCJ against potential claims arising from service performance. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the scope involves fertilizer application for over 1,600 acres with a precise fertilizer mixture specification. Vendors must comply with HUB subcontracting requirements and provide comprehensive documentation of historically underutilized business participation. The solicitation emphasizes both technical capabilities in fertilizer application and commitment to supporting disadvantaged business enterprises.
