Greenhouse Kits & Installation

The Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD) is issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for Greenhouse Structure Kits and Installation to be purchased with Perkins Grant funds. The project requires the supply and installation of a 24ft wide by 48ft long greenhouse structure with 8ft sidewalls, exhaust fans, shutters, vents, heater, fans, doors, shade cloth, benches, and irrigation system. TJJD will provide site preparation, electrical, and plumbing work. Bids are due by April 15, 2024 at 9:30am, and the Grant expires on July 31, 2024, so the greenhouse must be completed and in use by that date. Bidders must comply with all Texas purchasing rules and regulations, and bids should be firm for 30 days, be F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid, and provide a preference for U.S. made goods and materials. The State reserves the right to make an award on the basis of low line item, low total, or any combination. A one-year minimum warranty on all parts is required.

This procurement is funded by the Perkins Grant, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The IFB does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The IFB does not specify a budget range, but the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
