All responses must be submitted in writing to the designated purchaser on the official form and time-stamped at the designated office on or before the specified deadline; late or unsigned responses are rejected. Bidders must provide unit pricing for monocalcium phosphate; all products must be new and unused and comply with applicable OSHA standards and regulations. Delivery shall be quoted F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid and allowed unless otherwise stated, with failure to state delivery time obligating the respondent to deliver within 14 calendar days.

The TDCJ reserves the right to award based on low line-item response, low total of line-items, or any other combination serving the best interest of the State, and may reject any or all items at its sole discretion. All goods are subject to inspection and testing by TDCJ; all costs borne by the vendor if products fail to meet specifications. Responses must remain firm for acceptance for 30 days from the response due date.

The contract is subject to termination or cancellation without penalty to TDCJ due to lack of appropriated funds or legislative action. The contract shall be governed by Texas law with venue fixed in Travis County, Texas.
