Electric Double Reach Truck

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Contracts and Procurement Department has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for an electric double reach truck, with Reference Number IM225761. The procurement seeks a specific truck with a minimum basic capacity of 3,300 lbs, equipped with a 36V lithium battery (minimum 560Ah capacity) and a 36V/200A 240V 3-phase charger. Preferred manufacturers include Mobelift (Part # RT33DP) and Toyota (Part # RF1-SD2X32), with bidders required to provide one (1) set of manuals upon machine delivery. The solicitation requires electronic bid submissions to bids@tdcj.texas.gov, with a submission deadline of August 08, 2025 at 3:00 PM. Bidders must submit detailed specification submittals and comply with Texas state statutes and federal regulations, including provisions related to debarment, terrorism, and legal standing. Delivery may be a factor in the award, and the unit cost must include all expenses related to equipment delivery.

The contract opportunity appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must comply with extensive legal requirements, including provisions of Texas Government Code sections and potential public information request compliance. The solicitation includes specific warranty provisions and security requirements for delivery to correctional facilities, with additional stipulations about potential payment applications towards state-owed debts, taxes, and child support. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for a single electric double reach truck. Bidders must provide a point of contact for their submitted bid and demonstrate full legal and operational compliance with state and federal regulations. The re-solicitation suggests this is a critical equipment replacement or addition for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's operational needs.
