FITTING, MALE WATER HOSE, 5/8" - ref 2094790

Dallas County and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Authority are seeking to procure a specific male water hose fitting with reference number 2094790, measuring 5/8" in size. This procurement opportunity was posted on September 22, 2025, with a submission deadline of September 25, 2025, indicating a very short response window for potential vendors. The contract appears to be a straightforward purchase order for a specific hardware component, likely intended for maintenance or infrastructure purposes within the DART system. Vendors must carefully review the attached Purchase Order Terms and Conditions document, which outlines comprehensive requirements for product quality, delivery, and performance. The procurement demands that suppliers provide merchantable quality supplies suitable for their intended use and comply with precise product specifications.

The procurement opportunity does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, though the terms and conditions document suggests some important vendor qualifications. Vendors must certify they are not associated with Foreign Terrorist Organizations and do not boycott Israel, which could limit potential respondents. The document indicates DART is tax-exempt from Texas state and local sales taxes, which might impact pricing considerations. While no specific award value is mentioned, the procurement appears to be for a standard hardware component with likely modest financial implications. The terms require invoices to be submitted in triplicate, with payment processed within 30 days of invoice or order receipt, and mandate that suppliers provide the most favorable commercial warranties for the specified male water hose fitting.
