The equipment must include a 210 CFM diesel air compressor, 100-foot hose, 150-gallon water tank with water pump, 8 cubic feet blasting pot capacity with minimum 100-pound abrasive capacity and 2-hour blast time, emergency breakaway braking system, 8-ply tires with spare, 2-5/16" ball hitch, DOT-compliant lighting, and a one-year performance warranty against defects plus a minimum 12-month material warranty covering 100 percent parts and labor. The unit must be newly manufactured, completely assembled, adjusted upon delivery, capable of safely towing at speeds up to 85 MPH, and must arrive with a safety inspection certificate and Manufacturer's Statement of Origin. Vendors must be official authorized dealers or distributors and must provide original illustrated parts books, operator's manuals, service manuals, and complete technical schematics at delivery, along with factory-trained technician instruction on safety, operation, and preventive maintenance within 30 days of receipt. TxDOT will pick up the equipment at the vendor's location. Award will be based on lowest price and the respondent's ability to meet specifications, with prices submitted on a firm, fixed-price, all-inclusive basis with F.O.B. destination and freight prepaid. The solicitation opened on March 17, 2026, with questions due by March 19, 2026; TxDOT posted responses to questions by March 24, 2026; and bids are due on March 31, 2026, at 3:00 PM Central Time, with award anticipated on April 1, 2026. Responses must be submitted electronically through the Euna Procurement system (https://txdot.bonfirehub.com/) and must include a bid table, execution of bid, Texas Family Code Schedule, acknowledgement of Addendum 1, HUB Subcontracting Plan, and vendor qualifications schedule.

The solicitation is being advertised as proprietary under Texas Government Code 2155.067, indicating that TxDOT believes the requested item is proprietary to one provider and specification, though responses from all qualified vendors meeting the exact specifications will be considered for award. A HUB Subcontracting Plan is mandatory for all respondents regardless of subcontracting intent, with subcontracting opportunities identified as probable; however, the VetHUB participation goal for this contract is 0% per fiscal year, requiring respondents to submit a good faith effort demonstration. Respondents must certify compliance with various state and federal regulations, including anti-trust laws, anti-corruption statutes, counterintelligence screening requirements, and eligibility under Texas Family Code Section 231.006 related to child support obligations. No incumbent vendor information is specified in the solicitation documents. No insurance requirements, performance bonds, security requirements, or financial requirements apply to this procurement. The expected contract value is $100,000 or more over its life, though no specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available documentation. All bid responses are irrevocable for 120 calendar days following the solicitation closing date, and TxDOT reserves the right to obtain products from other sources during the contract term.
