No HUB Subcontracting Plan is required for this procurement, and there are no specific set-asides or restrictions limiting responses to particular organization types, though the solicitation incorporates TxDOT's preference structure for tie bids favoring Texas-produced supplies, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, environmentally sensitive products, energy-efficient goods, and recycled materials. Respondents must be listed on the Texas Comptroller's Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL) and should verify current registration with applicable NIGP codes. All traffic paint must originate from manufacturers pre-qualified on the TxDOT Material Producer List, with five qualified suppliers identified: Diamond Vogel Inc., PPG/Ennis-Flint Inc., Swarco (Colorado Paint), Ingevity (Ozark Materials LLC), and Davies Imperial Coatings, Inc., with compliance expiration dates of October 1, 2026. Respondents must demonstrate past performance compliance through the Vendor Performance System with no grade below 'C', no active Corrective Action Plans, and no cancelled or terminated purchase orders in the previous 12 months. The contract carries no minimum quantity guarantees, and TxDOT reserves the right to obtain traffic paint from alternative sources during the contract term; estimated quantities are provided for price comparison purposes only with actual orders limited to operational needs and aggregate contract amount.
