About this opportunity
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is soliciting sealed bids for fertilizer application services at the Clemens Unit Farm Office in Brazoria, Texas. The Invitation for Bids (IFB) seeks a contractor to apply fertilizer using a tender applicator across 3,300 acres, with specific requirements for fertilizer blend composition including composted poultry litter, potassium, phosphorus, and ammonium sulfate. The procurement involves two primary line items: fertilizer application at 250 lbs per acre and a fertilizer blend totaling 412.5 tons. Bids must be electronically submitted by July 8, 2025, at 3 P.M., with the contract period running from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. Evaluation criteria will focus on best value considerations, including pricing, performance history, quality of goods, and conformance to specifications. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation, including insurance coverage of at least $1,000,000, and complete various state procurement certifications.
The solicitation includes a significant Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) subcontracting component, with a statewide HUB goal of 21.1% for commodities contracts. Potential bidders must submit a State of Texas HUB Subcontracting Plan demonstrating good faith efforts to include certified HUB vendors in the contract execution. Contractors will be required to provide monthly compliance reports verifying their use of HUB vendors and must notify potential HUB subcontractors about subcontracting opportunities. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the fertilizer application and blend requirements suggests a substantial contract value. The procurement is specifically targeted to vendors capable of meeting detailed agricultural service specifications, with emphasis on compliance with state procurement regulations and support for economically disadvantaged businesses.
