The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the procurement of 500 units of 12-foot by 3-inch diameter upright gray fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) sign posts with plugs, in accordance with Specification DMS-4410, for the Seguin Regional Supply Center. The posts must be furnished by authorized dealers or distributors of approved manufacturers, specifically the Texas Corrulators Model FRP12 or TxDOT-approved equivalents. Responses were due by 3:00 p.m. central time on January 20, 2026, with a tentative contract award date of February 6, 2026. Pricing must be submitted on a firm, fixed-price basis with F.O.B. destination freight prepaid and included in the unit price, and delivery must occur between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, excluding state and federal holidays. Respondents must be registered on the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL) and use the appropriate National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) code. Vendor responses must include a completed Invitation for Bid form, Vendor Data Schedule indicating make and model, Texas Family Code Schedule, and any applicable addenda. The contract is designated as an emergency purchase under Texas Government Code 2155.137 and 34 TAC 20.82, and will be established with estimated quantities only, with TxDOT ordering only the amount needed to satisfy operating requirements with no guaranteed minimum or maximum purchase.

Respondents may claim preferences under Texas Administrative Code Rule 34 TAC 20.306 for Texas-produced supplies, USA-produced equipment, or other applicable categories. All purchases are exempt from state and local sales tax and federal excise tax, and respondents may offer cash discounts in exchange for priority invoice processing through TxDOT's Early Payment Program. No specific incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the solicitation documentation. Payment will be made within 30 days of receipt of correct invoices or goods, whichever is later, in accordance with Government Code Chapter 2251, and all invoices must be submitted within 15 days of delivery with detailed information including PO number, item descriptions, quantities, unit prices, and extended prices. While no explicit award value or budget range is provided in the solicitation, the contract is structured as an indefinite quantity agreement based on TxDOT's operational needs, suggesting the total value will depend on actual orders placed throughout the contract term.
