The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the procurement of a variety of laundry and cleaning supplies for use in its correctional facilities across the state. The contract will have an initial term of one year with the option to renew for up to four additional one-year terms. Bids are requested on a per-unit basis for over 40 different products, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder(s). A non-mandatory pre-bid conference will be held on September 28, 2022, and bids are due by 2:00 PM CT on October 20, 2022. The IFB outlines detailed specifications and estimated quantities for the requested laundry and cleaning supplies.

The IFB does not indicate any set-aside requirements, but notes that the current incumbent contractor is a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB). Funding for the contract will come from TDCJ's operating budget, though the IFB does not specify an estimated contract value or budget range. The IFB also does not mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration by the successful bidder(s).
