FY26 Peace Officer Vehicle Up-Fit

The Texas Office of the Attorney General is soliciting bids through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for peace officer vehicle up-fit services, specifically seeking qualified vendors to source and install warning lights, sirens, controllers, secure storage vaults, and other vehicle accessories on agency-owned vehicles. The procurement encompasses up-fit packages for two vehicle platforms: 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe and 2026 Chevrolet Silverado, with multiple configuration options including Standard, K9, and Legacy variants for the Tahoe and a comparable truck bed configuration for the Silverado. Required components are sourced from established manufacturers including Feniex Industries, Whelen Engineering, Plastix Plus, American Aluminum, and Decked, with all installations to occur at the vendor's facility in Austin, Texas. Bidders must be located within a 50-mile radius of Austin to minimize vehicle drop-off and delivery costs, and pricing must include all equipment delivery and installation charges. Evaluation criteria include price competitiveness, compliance with OAG terms and conditions, acceptance of detailed IFB specifications, and bidder qualifications, experience, and demonstrated past performance. Vendor questions are due by April 21, 2026 at 10:00 AM Central Time, with OAG responses provided by April 24, 2026, and formal bid submissions required by April 30, 2026 at 1:00 PM Central Time. Pricing must remain firm for 30 days from bid submission, and bidders must specify whether they are quoting all or none of the required services without alteration or post-opening negotiation except for mathematical error corrections.

Bidders are encouraged to claim applicable preferences for Texas and U.S. products and services, recycled materials, energy-efficient products, and other designated preferences. All vendors must complete a VetHUB statement indicating their State of Texas VetHUB certification status and planned subcontracting with VetHUB-certified vendors. Extensive vendor eligibility and compliance requirements are mandated, including Texas Bidder status verification, suspension and debarment clearance, insurance coverage with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate for general liability, E-Verify compliance, and child support obligations verification. Vendors must maintain seven-year record retention for State Auditor audit purposes, comply with cybersecurity training requirements, and provide business continuity and disaster recovery plans. The OAG reserves the right to reject any and all offers, make partial awards, waive informalities, and negotiate modifications as deemed necessary, with dispute resolution governed by Chapter 2260 of the Texas Government Code and venue fixed in Travis County, Texas. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available procurement documents.
