Trailer-Mounted Air Compressor for TxDOT Sugarland (Highway District 12)

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is issuing Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 601330000046229, a re-advertisement of a previous solicitation, for the procurement of one new trailer-mounted, diesel-powered air compressor for TxDOT Sugarland operations in Highway District 12. The equipment must feature a 4-cylinder engine with electric start, operate at 80 to 200 PSIG, and deliver a minimum of 250 CFM free air delivery, with single-axle heavy-duty trailer construction including electric brakes, safety chains, and a Bulldog 25/5 trailer connection; the specification cites the Bobcat PA250V as an acceptable example. The compressor must include a minimum of two individually controllable 3/4-inch air outlets, standard gauges, original manufacturer manuals with illustrated parts lists and service information, certificates of origin and title, and a minimum 12-month warranty covering 100 percent parts and labor. All equipment must be new, latest-model production units of high-quality workmanship and material, and must comply with all applicable federal and Texas safety, health, lighting, and noise regulations. Delivery must be made to 12015 SH6, Sugarland, TX 77498 between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Thursday, excluding holidays. The solicitation opened March 3, 2026, with a question submission deadline of March 6, 2026, TxDOT's response to questions posted by March 10, 2026, and a firm closing date of March 17, 2026 at 10:00 AM Central Time, with a tentative contract award date of March 19, 2026. All pricing must be submitted on a firm, fixed-price, all-inclusive basis with F.O.B. destination, freight prepaid and included in the unit price, and award will be made to the vendor offering the best value based on lowest price and ability to meet specifications.

This procurement contains no set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, and no incumbent contractors or subcontracting plans are applicable. Vendors may claim preferential consideration under Texas Administrative Code Rule 34TAC 20.306 for Texas-produced goods, agricultural products, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, environmentally sensitive materials, energy-efficient products, and other specified preferences; in cases of tied bids, TxDOT will award based on claimed preferences or draw lots if preferences do not break the tie. All respondents must be registered on the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL) and must complete and submit four required sections: the Bid Table, Execution of Bid form, Texas Family Code Schedule, and Acknowledgement of Addenda if applicable, all through the Euna Procurement system at https://txdot.bonfirehub.com/. Responses are irrevocable for 120 calendar days following the solicitation closing date, and the successful respondent may be required to attend a post-award meeting within 10 business days of award notification. The solicitation documents do not specify a budget range or award value, as this is a sealed-bid competitive procurement where the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
