About this opportunity
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Contracts and Procurement Department is seeking bids for 337,000 bags of hybrid grain sorghum planting seed, specifically the Pioneer P85265 variety, through an Invitation for Bids (IFB) with Requisition #696-6-IW231989. The procurement requires seed from 2022 to 2024 production, to be delivered between January 13, 2026 and January 26, 2026. Bidders must provide seeds packaged in approximately 50-pound bags on standard, non-returnable pallets, with specific requirements for seed treatment involving a combination insecticide-fungicide. The seeds must meet stringent quality standards, including detailed specifications for seed purity and germination rates, with TDCJ conducting cold tests to verify compliance. Bids can be submitted electronically to bids@tdcj.texas.gov with a 10 MB attachment limit or via hard copy with one original signed paper copy. The bid opening is scheduled for November 18, 2025 at 3 P.M., with a proposal due date of the same day.
The solicitation includes specific Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) subcontracting requirements, with statewide and TDCJ-specific HUB participation goals set at 21.1% for commodities contracts. Contractors must submit a State of Texas HUB Subcontracting Plan demonstrating good faith efforts to engage Texas certified HUB vendors, including detailed documentation of potential subcontractors, their certification status, and expected contract values. The procurement requires prime contractors to provide comprehensive information about subcontracting intentions, including the percentage of work to be subcontracted and methods for meeting HUB participation goals. Contractors must notify selected subcontractors and submit monthly compliance reports tracking subcontractor payments and HUB participation. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves a substantial quantity of 337,000 seed bags, suggesting a significant agricultural supply contract for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
