Dust cap, oil drain system -REF 2097668

The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) in Dallas County, Texas is procuring a dust cap for an oil drain system (Reference 2097668). The solicitation was posted on April 20, 2026, with a due date of April 23, 2026, providing interested vendors with a compressed three-day response window. Prospective vendors must supply the specified dust cap that conforms to DART's drawings, specifications, and technical requirements, with sellers responsible for performing inspections and tests to substantiate compliance with all stated specifications. The contract terms require strict adherence to purchase order conditions, including delivery obligations, inspection and acceptance procedures, and quality standards whereby all supplies must be of merchantable quality and suitable for intended use. Vendors must submit invoices in triplicate containing the purchase order number, item number, description, sizes, quantities, unit prices, and extended totals, with payment due 30 days from receipt of invoice or order, whichever is later. DART reserves the right to make changes to orders through written notice with equitable adjustments to contract price or delivery schedules, and vendors must assert any claims for equitable adjustment within 30 days of receiving change orders.

The contract is governed by Texas law with venue in Dallas County, and vendors must comply with equal opportunity employment provisions and certify that they do not appear on the Texas Comptroller's foreign terrorist organization list. Additionally, vendors must verify that neither they nor their affiliates boycott Israel. DART is exempt from Texas state and local sales and use taxes, and any such taxes included on invoices will be deducted from payment amounts. The solicitation documents do not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, incumbent vendors, or award values, indicating this is likely a straightforward equipment procurement. Vendors should note that DART retains the right to terminate the order for default or convenience, with termination for convenience limiting the Authority's liability to payment only for supplies delivered or services completed prior to the termination date. Interested parties should submit their responses by April 23, 2026, to meet the expedited deadline.
