Heating Holding Cabinets (Food Service Dept)

San Felipe Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District (CISD) in Upton County, Texas is seeking qualified vendors to supply cafeteria heating and holding cabinets for the district's Food Service Department through a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued on February 24, 2026. This is a turn-key procurement requiring vendors to deliver heating and holding cabinets to each cafeteria location, perform installation, unwrap and unbox equipment, remove protective film, and remove and dispose of existing heating holding cabinets. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Bonfire portal at https://sfrd-cisd.bonfirehub.com no later than 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 19, 2026. Pricing must be quoted as F.O.B. Destination with extended pricing, excluding federal and state taxes. The district's evaluation criteria awards 50 points for overall cost to the district (with the lowest-priced vendor receiving maximum points and other vendors receiving proportional points based on price comparison) and 30 points for warranty terms, with comprehensive coverage including parts, labor, and on-site service within 24 hours for 5+ years receiving the maximum 30 points. The district reserves the right to reject bids based on quality, availability, and suitability to purpose rather than price alone, and no site visit or bidder's conference has been scheduled.

Vendors responding to this opportunity must submit multiple compliance documents including a Declaration of Compliance certifying independent proposal preparation, non-conviction of felonies, non-debarment status from federal contracts, non-boycott of Israel, and for companies with 10 or more full-time employees bidding on contracts valued at $100,000 or more, certification of non-boycott of energy companies and non-discrimination against firearm entities.
