About this opportunity

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Aviation Operations Division has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 405-25R0024745 for Helicopter Completion services, seeking bids to complete six specific helicopters: five AIRBUS H-125 and one Bell 407. The solicitation requires bidders to be located within 300 statute miles of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and possess a minimum of five years of verifiable law enforcement helicopter completion experience. Bidders must demonstrate successful completion of at least six helicopter projects in the past twelve months. Electronic bid responses are due by 5:00 P.M. Central Time on October 2, 2025, with an anticipated contract award date of October 7, 2025. The contract term will be one year from the effective date, with potential six-month extension options. The comprehensive pricing must include all costs, fees, licenses, and expenses for helicopter completion, with a payment structure of 40% upon award and 60% upon final delivery, acceptance, and commissioning. Detailed specifications cover airframe equipment, lighting, law enforcement equipment, avionics, communications, and miscellaneous installed and loose equipment, all requiring strict compliance with FAA standards.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must complete multiple certification forms, including the Information and Certifications Form, which requires compliance with various state and federal regulations, non-discrimination policies, and disclosures about business practices. While specific budget ranges are not directly stated, the payment structure suggests a significant contract value. Vendors must complete additional documentation including a Direct Deposit Authorization Form, a Texas Identification Number Application, and a W-9 form. The DPS Online Bid Room provides an electronic submission process, with a two-step vendor registration that can take up to two business days. Potential bidders are required to carefully review all solicitation documents and comply with detailed submission requirements, with failure to adhere potentially resulting in disqualification. The contract includes comprehensive terms and conditions that govern contractor performance, including provisions for termination, payment processes, and compliance with state procurement guidelines.
