Glass Repairs, Related Parts and Services District-Wide

Northside Independent School District (NISD) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB 2025-130) for district-wide glass repairs, related parts, and services covering 83 elementary schools, 21 middle schools, 13 high schools, 11 magnet schools/programs, 4 special schools, and 15 support sites in Bexar County, Texas. The procurement seeks vendors to supply a comprehensive range of glass-related products including clear and tinted tempered glass, mirror glass, insulated glass, wire glass, windows, doors, vehicle glass, and associated glazing services and materials. Vendors must offer a consistent discount from published catalog prices, provide an online catalog, and ensure direct delivery to all district locations with freight prepaid. The bid will be opened on Thursday, October 23, 2025 at 11:00 AM (CT), with the contract valid for one year upon Board of Trustees approval and options to renew for two additional one-year periods. Proposers are required to submit electronic proposals through the Bonfire portal, with all costs explicitly detailed and no guaranteed purchase quantities.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but requires vendors to complete mandatory forms including a Vendor Certification Form, EDGAR Compliance Form, and Conflict of Interest Questionnaire. Vendors must provide references, maintain appropriate insurance documentation, and comply with state and federal procurement regulations. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) will be used for payments with standard net 30-day payment terms. While no specific budget range is mentioned, the district emphasizes that purchases will be made on an as-needed basis contingent upon available funds. The procurement replaces a previous solicitation (IFB 2022-205) and vendors are advised that failure to respond may impact future business opportunities with the district. Proposers must demonstrate capability to meet the district's comprehensive glass repair and replacement needs across multiple educational facilities.
