About this opportunity
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for fertilizer application services at the Memorial (formerly Darrington) Unit Farm Office located in Rosharon, TX, under Bid Number TM221083. The procurement involves two primary line items: applying 7/17/22/45/300 dry fertilizer with a tender applicator at a rate of 250 lbs per acre across 2,660 acres, and supplying a fertilizer blend totaling 399 tons. The contract period will run from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, with bids due on July 8, 2025, at 3 P.M. Electronic bid submissions are preferred via email to bids@tdcj.texas.gov, with a 10 MB attachment limit and documents required in Microsoft Office formats. Bidders must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in liability protection, $500,000 in auto coverage, and statutory worker's compensation, to protect TDCJ from potential claims arising during service performance.
The solicitation includes specific Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) subcontracting requirements, with a targeted HUB participation goal of 21.1% for this contract. Vendors must submit a detailed HUB Subcontracting Plan demonstrating good faith efforts to engage economically disadvantaged businesses, including identifying potential HUB and non-HUB subcontractors and providing documentation of outreach efforts. The contract falls under the Commodities Contracts Category, with statewide HUB goals ranging from 11.2% to 32.9%. Potential bidders must carefully complete and submit all required HUB documentation, with non-compliance potentially resulting in bid rejection or contract modifications. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive requirements for fertilizer application and blending suggest a contract value that would support agricultural operations at the TDCJ Memorial Unit farm.
