Food Service Equipment Repair Services

Amarillo Independent School District is requesting proposals for commercial kitchen equipment repair and refrigeration equipment repair services for its Child Nutrition Department, with proposals due August 3, 2026. The district intends to award contracts to one or more qualified vendors to establish a pool of available service providers and reserves discretion to utilize any awarded vendor based on availability, response time, expertise, workload, equipment type, and other factors determined to be in the district's best interest.

The scope encompasses repair services on an as-needed basis across approximately 50 AISD campuses and facilities throughout the Amarillo area. The equipment inventory includes reach-in coolers, walk-in coolers, reach-in freezers, walk-in freezers, and milk boxes located at elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and specialized facilities.

Proposers must complete multiple mandatory certifications and forms as conditions of submission: Resident Bidder Certification (designating resident or nonresident status and Texas employment); Required Contractor Certifications (federal debarment, drug-free workplace, criminal history compliance under Texas Education Code Chapter 22); Conflict of Interest Questionnaire under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 176; Felony Conviction Notification; Criminal Background Check Certification; Agreement to District Solicitation Provisions; General Proposal Questionnaire; and EDGAR Certifications for federal compliance (Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, clean air and water standards, debarment, Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment, and others).

All vendor personnel requiring access to AISD property must undergo background checks through the Fingerprint-based Applicant Clearinghouse of Texas (FACT), with the vendor responsible for associated costs. Vendors must maintain liability insurance with AISD listed as additional insured and comply with comprehensive on-site conduct and safety protocols, including prohibitions on weapons, tobacco, alcohol, and illegal drugs.

Proposers may optionally participate in the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance (CTPA) Interlocal Agreement, extending negotiated pricing to CTPA member districts and other authorized political subdivisions. Pricing sheets and scope-of-work documentation are included in the solicitation package. No contract value, contract term length, or incumbent contractor information is specified in available documentation.
