Mobile Radiology Services (TDCJ Units)

Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) 739-SL3700608 for Mobile Radiology Services at six specific Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) unit locations: Clements, Dalhart, Ft. Stockton N5, Lynaugh, Sanchez, and Smith Units. The procurement seeks a contractor capable of providing mobile radiology services with a radiology technician who can perform X-ray services using either mobile or onsite X-ray equipment, with a minimum service frequency of twice per month. Deliverables include comprehensive radiology imaging services across these TDCJ units, with specific requirements for technician availability, equipment standards, and service consistency. The bid is scheduled to be due on June 23, 2025, with submissions accepted through the TechBid system or via mail to TTUHSC's Purchasing Office in Lubbock, Texas. Evaluation criteria appear to include pricing components such as mileage rates, hourly radiology technician rates, meal allowances, and hotel accommodations, with additional emphasis on vendor compliance with state tax obligations, required certifications, and insurance provisions.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement appears structured to potentially allow group purchasing by other Texas higher education institutions, suggesting flexibility in vendor participation. While no incumbent vendors are identified in the available documentation, the bid covers a significant service area representing 108 counties (approximately 50% of Texas' land mass and 11% of its population), which implies potential for substantial service volume. The solicitation indicates that bidders must meet various ethical and legal standards, including current state tax compliance and provision of necessary certifications and insurances. Although specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available information, the comprehensive nature of the mobile radiology services across multiple TDCJ units suggests a potentially significant contract value that would support ongoing medical imaging needs for the Texas criminal justice system.
