Dump Trailer

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is requesting bids to establish a purchase order for dump trailer procurement, with bids due July 28, 2026.

The solicitation establishes a standing purchase order framework allowing TDCJ to procure dump trailers as needed over the contract term rather than a single fixed quantity. Detailed technical specifications and quality standards are outlined in the bid documents; bidders must demonstrate compliance with all specified performance and safety requirements for use in correctional facility operations and transportation activities.

Responses must remain firm for 30 days from the due date. Delivery is quoted F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid unless otherwise stated. TDCJ reserves the right to award based on low line-item response, low total of line-items, or any other combination serving the state's best interest, and may reject any or all items at its sole discretion.

All responses must be submitted on the specified form and time-stamped at the designated TDCJ purchaser office by the exact deadline; late or unsigned responses will not be considered. All communications regarding the solicitation must be directed in writing to the designated purchaser. Purchases for State of Texas use are exempt from state sales tax and federal excise tax; the respondent is responsible for all other federal, state, and local taxes resulting from the contract. All goods are subject to inspection and testing by authorized TDCJ personnel; costs for failed products are borne by the vendor. The contract is governed by Texas law with venue in Travis County and is subject to termination for non-appropriation of funds with no penalty to TDCJ, or termination for convenience on 30 calendar days' written notice. Bidders must satisfy extensive compliance certifications including debarment status, E-Verify requirements, human trafficking prohibitions, cybersecurity standards, and restrictions on discrimination against firearm entities and energy companies.
