The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) Statewide Procurement Division is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB No. 304T-26-071A1) for the procurement of law enforcement motorcycles, with the Texas Department of Public Safety identified as a major customer. The solicitation seeks 12 motorcycles classified under NIGP Class Item 07156, requiring 2026 or newer models meeting specifications including a minimum 1300cc engine displacement, advanced safety features such as anti-lock braking systems and adaptive cruise control, emergency lighting systems with programmable red and blue LEDs, integrated law enforcement equipment mounts for weapons and radar systems, and a minimum three-year or 60,000-mile warranty. Acceptable models must meet either BMW R 1300 RT-P or Harley-Davidson Road Glide standards or equivalent alternatives that comply with all federal and Texas safety, health, lighting, and noise regulations. Bidders must submit sealed responses by May 19, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. Central Time in Austin, Texas, with all questions due by April 17, 2026. The contract term commences upon Notice of Award and runs through April 30, 2027, with four renewal option periods extending through April 30, 2030, and an additional optional year thereafter, all subject to unilateral renewal by CPA. Pricing must be firm, all-inclusive, and include the 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee, with unit prices incorporating statewide delivery, all shipping and fuel surcharges, temporary or permanent registration plates, pre-delivery service, and manufacturer's literature in both electronic and print formats. Contractors must maintain minimum commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence and comply with all licensing requirements under Texas Occupations Code and Texas Transportation Code.

The solicitation does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to particular types of organizations based on disadvantaged enterprise status, though all respondents must execute comprehensive certifications and representations covering compliance with state and federal laws, including antitrust regulations, equal employment opportunity requirements, tax obligations, and various state-specific statutes addressing conflicts of interest and human trafficking. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available procurement documents. Bidders must provide detailed manufacturer's price lists current as of the bid submission date, verifiable through external sources, and price adjustments after the initial contract term are permitted only through documented manufacturer price list changes with a specified formula limiting increases proportionally to manufacturer pricing changes. Respondents must complete Attachment F by identifying and providing information about authorized warranty service providers who will support the motorcycles supplied under this procurement, demonstrating post-purchase service capability. The specific award value or budget range is not disclosed in the available solicitation documents; however, no specific item quantities are guaranteed, as estimates provided are based on historical usage and should not be construed as minimum or maximum purchase commitments. Respondents' offers must remain in effect for 120 days following the submission deadline of May 19, 2026.
