Kwalu Furniture Replacement at the Watkins-Logan Texas State Veterans Home in Tyler, Texas

The Texas General Land Office and Veterans Land Board (issuing via IFB 8895-SJ) is soliciting bids for Kwalu furniture replacement at the Watkins-Logan Texas State Veterans Home in Tyler, Texas, with bids due August 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. No pre-bid site visit is available. Addendum 1, issued August 12, 2026, clarifies scope and site constraints and must be acknowledged in the bid response or the response may not be considered.

The scope is supply and delivery of Kwalu furniture to 10 individual homes within the facility — two end tables and one table per home. The Texas HHS budget funds this facility-improvement project. Respondents must submit competitive lump-sum or itemized pricing for the complete furniture package.

Site constraints materially affect logistics: the facility has no elevator and no loading dock, and cannot accommodate 53-foot delivery trucks. The awarded bidder must provide lift gates or ramps for offloading and is responsible for removal and disposal of all packaging materials off-site, as no on-site dumpster is available. Installation must occur in a single continuous mobilization during regular business hours (Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.), with the specific date determined upon award. The home operator will coordinate removal of existing common area furniture with the GLO Project Manager. The delivery address is 11466 Honor Lane, Tyler, Texas 75708; facility contact information will be provided upon award.

Historically underutilized business (HUB) set-asides or other Texas state procurement preferences apply. Bidders must comply with all state procurement regulations regarding payment terms, delivery schedules, and warranty requirements as outlined in the IFB and supporting exhibits. The contract term and renewal options are defined in the IFB terms and conditions. The contract is awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
