Emergency Purchase of Cement for the Austin District

The Texas Department of Transportation's Austin District is seeking emergency procurement of cement with a response deadline of July 31, 2026 — already passed as of the posting date. The solicitation bypasses standard set-aside requirements due to the emergency nature of the purchase.

The scope covers 193 tons of Type I hydraulic cement in bulk form, supplied in accordance with TxDOT Departmental Material Specification DMS-4600. Four line items comprise the procurement: hydraulic cement supply, truck haul fees, fuel surcharge, and equipment fees for spreader bar services. Respondents must submit unit prices per ton for each line item; zero-dollar pricing or missing line-item pricing renders the response non-responsive. The pricing schedule must be submitted in Excel format with extended prices calculated across all 193 tons.

Respondents must complete and return a Texas Family Code Schedule certification form attesting to ownership structure and child-support compliance eligibility. Failure to sign and return this certification results in a non-responsive determination. Respondents must identify all persons or entities holding at least 25 percent ownership interest and provide their Social Security numbers, or certify that the schedule is not applicable.

The solicitation document does not specify contract value, contract term, payment terms, or anticipated award date. Accelerated delivery is required to support the district's urgent infrastructure needs. No pre-bid meetings or site visits are indicated as standard requirements; vendors should contact the Austin District directly for specification or delivery clarifications. Solicitation Number 601320000071572.
