Gas Calibrator and Compressed Air

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Monitoring Division, is seeking to procure specialized scientific equipment through Request for Bid (RFB) Number 582-25-10662, specifically targeting four Gas Dilution Calibrators (Model 4010M) and nine Compressed Air Sources (Model 1001) from Sabio Environmental, LLC. The solicitation requires precise scientific instruments capable of dynamically mixing gases, generating ozone concentrations, and performing gas phase titration for air monitoring systems. The Gas Dilution Calibrator must be a freestanding benchtop model weighing under 50 pounds, with multiple operating modes including blend, manual, and set-timer configurations, and must integrate with existing calibration and data logging systems. Key technical requirements include microprocessor-controlled gas mixing, specific communication protocols using "dot commands," and the ability to generate precise gas concentration levels. Critical submission deadlines include vendor questions due by July 18, 2025, at 12:00 PM CST, and final bid submissions due July 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST, with electronic submissions accepted at TCEQbid@tceq.texas.gov. Delivery of equipment is expected within 120 calendar days after order receipt to the TCEQ facility in Austin, Texas.

While no specific HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) Subcontracting Plan is required for this contract, the solicitation includes several Texas vendor preference options, such as preferences for goods produced in Texas and services offered by Texas service-disabled veterans. Vendors must possess an Employer Identification Number (EIN) and comply with IRS guidelines to minimize identity theft. The equipment must be new, of current production, and include manufacturer's standard parts and accessories, with a mandatory two-year warranty providing complete onsite coverage of parts and labor. The solicitation also requires vendors to provide electronic manuals and offer in-house training for TCEQ staff at no additional cost, with technical support available during standard business hours. Although no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement involves multiple sophisticated scientific instruments with detailed technical specifications. Potential bidders must demonstrate capability to meet stringent technical requirements, provide comprehensive documentation, and offer robust warranty and support services for the specialized environmental monitoring equipment.
