IPEMS

The state of Texas, specifically Harris County and the City of Houston, is seeking bids for the procurement of one (1) Integrated Portable Emissions Measurement System (iPEMS) for Texas Southern University's Science & Technology Department.

The contract is for a one-time purchase, and the successful bidder must provide pricing details, shipping costs, delivery schedule, warranties, and any trade-in credit for an older PEMS unit.

The ITB outlines the non-discrimination and HUB subcontracting requirements, as well as the University's right to waive minor inconsistencies, terminate the contract, and amend the agreement. Bidders are required to submit a list of references and acknowledge any addenda to the ITB. The contract will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, and the successful bidder may be required to submit the Texas House Bill 1295 certificate for Interested Parties if the contract exceeds $100,000. The procurement does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and the available budget information is not provided.
