Forklifts

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is requesting bids to establish a purchase order for two forklifts under Solicitation IW252950, with bids due August 4, 2026.

Responses must be submitted in writing and time-stamped at the designated TDCJ office on or before the solicitation opening date. All pricing must be quoted on a firm basis for thirty days from the response due date, F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid and allowed. Delivery shall occur during normal working hours only unless prior written approval is obtained; vendors must provide realistic delivery timelines or TDCJ will assume a default of fourteen calendar days.

TDCJ reserves the right to award based on low line-item response, low total of line-items, or any combination serving the state's best interest, and may reject any or all items at its sole discretion. All goods are subject to inspection and testing by authorized TDCJ personnel, with vendor responsibility for all costs if products fail to meet specifications. The contract is governed by Texas law with venue fixed in Travis County, and is subject to termination for non-appropriation or unavailability of funds without penalty to TDCJ or liability for damages.

Purchases for State of Texas use are exempt from state and federal sales and excise taxes; TDCJ will furnish Tax Exemption Certificates upon request. Respondents must ensure that all benefits, pricing, and terms offered to TDCJ are at least as favorable as those granted to any previous client for similar services and products, and must notify TDCJ if more favorable terms are subsequently offered to other clients.
