The resulting contract will serve cooperative members including school districts, municipalities, and other governmental entities across the designated region and will be effective March 1, 2027 through February 28, 2028.

Vendors must provide pricing in two formats: hourly rates for services and percentage discounts from catalog list prices for supplies and equipment. Bidders must submit a non-refundable $50 administrative fee prior to bid opening and agree to remit a 2% participation fee on all monthly sales to cooperative members. A minimum annual sales requirement of $5,000 per contract applies. Bid prices must remain firm for a minimum of 90 days from opening.

All bidders must submit certifications and compliance documents including W-9 forms, vendor certification forms, Texas HB 1295 disclosures, felony conviction disclosures, and attestations regarding debarment status, non-collusion, and compliance with boycott provisions. Vendors selected as contractors must submit monthly sales reports documenting all member purchases by the tenth business day of each month. No specific item quantities are outlined, as this is an on-demand catalog contract. No mandatory site visits or bidders' conferences are specified.
