Elbow 90° swivel 1/4 x 3/8 air brake - REF 2096017

The state and local contract opportunity is issued by Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) in Dallas County, Texas, for the procurement of a specific air brake component: an ELBOW 90° SWIVEL 1/4 X 3/8 AIR BRAKE with reference number 2096017. The procurement is scheduled for posting on December 1, 2025, with proposals due by December 4, 2025. The primary deliverable is a precision air brake elbow fitting, which must meet strict technical specifications for quality, functionality, and compatibility with existing DART transit infrastructure. Vendors must provide components that are of merchantable quality, suitable for intended use, and fully compliant with technical requirements. The procurement process requires detailed documentation, including triplicate invoices that specify purchase order number, item description, quantities, unit prices, and extended totals. Delivery timelines are critical, with potential contract termination for failure to meet specified schedules.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are explicitly detailed in the procurement documents. However, vendors must certify compliance with Texas Comptroller requirements, including verification of non-association with Foreign Terrorist Organizations and confirmation of non-participation in boycotts against Israel. The contract includes standard payment terms of net 30 days from invoice receipt, with DART maintaining tax-exempt status for Texas sales and use taxes. While a specific award value is not provided, the procurement appears to be for a specific component with potentially limited quantity. Vendors should be prepared to provide commercial warranties and understand that DART reserves the right to terminate the contract for convenience or default, with potential damages recoverable for excess reprocurement costs. The contract becomes binding upon DART's acceptance, with all terms subject to strict interpretation and compliance.
