The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Contracts and Procurement Department is seeking bids for 3,100 linear yards of single fill duck fabric in black, specifically Harvest Duck brand from Caltax, to be used at the TDCJ Clements Unit Shoe Factory located in Amarillo, Texas. The procurement requires 100% cotton content fabric with precise specifications, including a 62-63" embrio width, 7 oz per square yard weight, and specific thread and construction requirements. Bid submissions are due on June 19, 2025, at 3 P.M., with a deadline for questions on June 9, 2025. Electronic bid submissions are preferred via email to bids@tdcj.texas.gov with a 10 MB attachment limit, though hard copy submissions are also accepted. The contract requires F.O.B. destination pricing with no freight charges, and materials must be delivered within 60 days of award to the specified facility. Bidders must comply with Texas state bidding requirements, including provisions related to debarment, suspension, and terrorism watch lists. The solicitation includes specific security requirements for delivery, such as mandatory staff background checks, vehicle inspections, and restrictions on items that can be brought into correctional facilities. Potential vendors must provide detailed vendor information and comply with various state and federal regulations, including Electronic and Information Resources Accessibility Standards and the E-Verify system. The contract is subject to legislative appropriations, with the potential for termination if sufficient funds are not available. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, vendors must meet comprehensive legal and compliance standards, including provisions around conflicts of interest and boycott restrictions. The procurement does not specify a precise award value, but the requirement for 3,100 linear yards of specialized duck canvas suggests a moderate-value contract focused on meeting the specific manufacturing needs of the TDCJ Clements Unit Shoe Factory.
