Liquid Fertilizer

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) Statewide Procurement Division (SPD) is issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the procurement of liquid fertilizer, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) being the major customer. The IFB requests sealed responses for various grades and formulations of liquid fertilizer, including 32-0-0 Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) solution, with estimated quantities based on previous usage. The initial contract term is from the effective date through August 31, 2025, with up to four one-year renewal options. The IFB outlines detailed product specifications, including color, nitrogen content, weight, and salting temperature. Pricing is structured as a Contractor's Constant plus a variable component based on the current UAN price reported in the Green Markets publication. Responses are due by June 12, 2024 at 1:30 PM Central Time, and will be evaluated based on responsiveness, risk of non-performance, and best value to the state.

The IFB does not mention any set-asides or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not provide any information on listed incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The IFB does not specify a budget range or award value, but notes that there is no guaranteed minimum purchase quantity.
