IFB 802-24-50408 Raymarine Axiom 2 Pro Radar Navigation Equipment and Electronics Package Components

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is soliciting bids to purchase two (2) Raymarine Axiom 2 Pro Radar Navigation Equipment and Electronics Package Components. The required equipment includes navigation units, navigation maps, radar, encrypted AIS transponders, transducer packages, navigation system displays, integrated VHF radios, and thermal cameras. The detailed technical specifications are proprietary, but the IFB advises that competing vendors may respond if they believe they can meet the requirements. Bids are due by 2:00 PM CT on August 15, 2024, and the contract will commence upon issuance and automatically expire upon the agreed-upon delivery date and final acceptance by TPWD. TPWD will consider low line-item bids, low total of line items, or any combination that serves the best interest of the state, and reserves the right to reject any and all bid items.

The IFB outlines various preferences that bidders may claim, including for Texas-based, service-disabled veteran-owned, and environmentally-sensitive businesses. The purchase will be funded by TPWD, but no specific award value or budget range is provided. There is no information on incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the solicitation does not mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration.
