Innersprings

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA), Statewide Procurement Division, is seeking sealed responses for innerspring units through Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 304T-24-565A1. The major customer for these items is the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). The contract will cover jurisdictions in Texas, including Travis County and the City of Austin. The IFB provides detailed specifications for the innerspring units, including requirements for the spring coil wire, coils, helical ties, border wire, and fabrication and construction. The contract term is from May 1, 2024, to April 30, 2025, with four one-year renewal options. Respondents must submit their responses by February 14, 2024, and the pricing for the innerspring units must be firm, all-inclusive, fixed prices, which will be published on CPA's Texas SmartBuy online ordering system. CPA will evaluate responses based on responsiveness, risk of non-performance, and best value to the state, which includes delivery time.

The contract opportunity is open to vendors based in Texas, and preference will be given to Texas-based vendors and providers of certain Texas-sourced or environmentally-friendly products and services. Vendors must provide insurance documentation and are subject to debarment checks at the state and federal level. The contract value or budget range is not specified in the provided information.
