Holiday and Special Event Lighting

TIPS (Texas Intergovernmental Purchasing Cooperative) is soliciting vendors for a statewide framework agreement on holiday and special event lighting products and services, with responses due September 18, 2026. This is a prospective-use cooperative purchasing vehicle, not a project-specific procurement, whereby pre-qualified vendors will be available to participating Texas governmental entities.

Complete solicitation documents, specifications, pricing structures, evaluation criteria, set-asides, contract terms, and renewal options are posted on the TIPS vendor portal at https://www.tips-usa.com/vendors/bid-schedule. Vendors must reference the full materials on that platform for detailed item quantities, response requirements, and any scheduled bidders' conferences or site visits.

The cooperative structure allows multiple Texas state agencies, counties, municipalities, school districts, and other public bodies to access pre-qualified lighting vendors without running individual RFPs, streamlining procurement timelines for participating entities. Small-business or minority-owned-business set-asides, if applicable, are detailed in the complete solicitation documents on the TIPS portal.
