GNS School Desks

The Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD) is seeking bids for 70 KLOG/Regard Sled-Base Combo Desks through an Invitation for Bids (IFB) numbered BSD-808. The procurement is specifically for the Gainesville State Juvenile Correctional Facility and requires school desks with precise specifications: 24"W x 18"D worksurface, dark walnut finish, with black seats measuring 16"W x 15"D x 18"H and capable of supporting up to 275 pounds. Bids must be submitted electronically via email to deidre.hernandez@tjjd.texas.gov by 8:00 AM on December 9, 2025. The state reserves the right to make awards based on best value and can reject any or all bid items at its discretion. Vendors must provide unit pricing with prepaid freight to the destination, and delivery is expected within three weeks of purchase order acknowledgment. Key evaluation criteria include pricing, compliance with specifications, and ability to meet the specified delivery timeline.

The solicitation explicitly states that bids are not acceptable from consulting firms, and successful respondents must provide a Payee ID Number or Federal Employer Identification Number for payment processing. The contract includes standard Texas procurement requirements, such as compliance with state and federal regulations and submission of certificates of insurance within five business days of award. Liquidated damages of 2 percent of the total contract cost per calendar day may be assessed for delivery delays. The contract is contingent upon continued appropriation of funds by the Texas Legislature and is subject to potential audit by the Texas State Auditor's Office. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned in the documents, the state is exempt from sales tax and federal excise tax. Though a specific contract value is not disclosed, the procurement is for 70 school desks, suggesting a moderate-scale contract with potential value in the several thousand dollar range.
