The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) on April 16, 2026, for the procurement of five complete 21 to 23-foot fiberglass boat packages, each equipped with a 250-horsepower outboard motor and trailer, designated for the agency's Law Enforcement Division. The boats must meet 33 CFR and ABYC standards with specific requirements regarding dimensions, fuel capacity, navigation equipment, and construction materials as detailed in the specification document dated April 2026. The solicitation includes optional accessory items such as T-tops, electronics packages, VHF radios, spotlights, and specialized law enforcement equipment that may be awarded based on funding availability. Bids are due by 2:00 PM Central Standard Time on April 23, 2026, and must be submitted via email to Purchasing.bidbox@tpwd.texas.gov or by mail to the TPWD purchasing office in Austin, Texas. The five boat packages are designated for delivery to separate TPWD Law Enforcement Regional offices in San Angelo, Port Arthur, Tyler, San Antonio, and Lubbock, Texas, with respondents required to specify delivery timeframes in calendar days after receipt of order and quote FOB destination with freight prepaid. Bidders must be actively licensed marine dealers, manufacturers, or authorized distributors of the specific boat make and model, with documentation of authorization required for distributors. Award will be made on a best-value basis considering price, vendor qualifications, experience, delivery schedule, and past performance, and a predelivery inspection at the vendor's facility is required prior to final delivery to verify compliance with all specifications.

The solicitation does not indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though respondents must comply with numerous statutory certifications required by Texas Government Code, including prohibitions on boycotts of Israel and energy companies, compliance with E-Verify employment verification, and adherence to cybersecurity and data management standards. No incumbent vendor information is listed for this procurement. The contract commences upon issuance and expires upon delivery, inspection, and final acceptance by TPWD, with payment required within 30 days of invoice receipt under the General Terms and Conditions of October 2025. TPWD reserves the right to pick up boat and trailer packages to save freight charges if the vendor is located in close proximity to delivery locations. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the solicitation documents, though the procurement encompasses five complete boat packages with associated motors, trailers, and potential optional accessories across multiple regional delivery locations.
