Incineration Services

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is seeking bids for a statewide blanket contract to provide incineration services for the disposal of illicit substances. The contractor must have a facility located within Texas and allow DPS personnel to witness the destruction. Services must be provided on a firm, per-pound basis, with the contractor able to incinerate at a minimum rate of 1,000 pounds per hour. The contract term is from the date of award through August 31, 2029, with a possible 6-month extension. Bids are due by July 11, 2024, and DPS anticipates awarding the contract on July 18, 2024. Pricing must be submitted on a mandatory schedule and include any minimum/maximum weights per incineration event, number of boxes, or administrative fees. Contractors must demonstrate financial stability and the ability to perform the required services, as DPS reserves the right to investigate the financial integrity of bidders and reject bids based on lack of financial soundness.

The solicitation does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the documents do not specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The procurement documents do not provide an estimated contract value or budget range, but state that DPS will not guarantee any minimum compensation under the contract.
