All bidders must obtain a Texas Identification Number and Federal Employer Identification Number prior to contract award. Pricing must be quoted F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid and allowed. Bid prices must remain firm for TDCJ's acceptance for 30 days from the response due date.

Responses must comply with all Texas purchasing rules, regulations, and statutes and be submitted on the required form with unit pricing clearly shown.
