Polos

This procurement from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Contracts and Procurement Department is a one-time purchase order for CS140 polos in light grey or cool grey color to be delivered to the Hightower Garment factory. The solicitation is being advertised under Section 2155.67 of the Texas Government Code, which restricts bids to items conforming exactly to the specified brand name, make, and model number with no acceptable alternatives or substitutions permitted. The polos must be supplied blank without any imprint or logo, and charcoal grey is explicitly not an acceptable color option. The original bid opening date was scheduled for March 9, 2026, and Amendment No. 1 has been issued to provide clarifications regarding questions submitted by potential bidders. All bidders must acknowledge receipt of the amendment in their bid submission to receive consideration for award. The delivery location features a loading dock and forklift available for unloading palletized freight, and vendors are permitted to utilize third-party trucking companies for delivery, though the vendor retains responsibility for relaying delivery requirements. Payment terms are net 30 days unless a discount is offered for early payment, with no down payment option available.

The procurement documents do not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or limitations on the types of organizations eligible to respond to this bid opportunity. No incumbent vendor or current contractor information has been disclosed in the available documentation. The bid tabulation document indicates that multiple bidders submitted responses; however, specific award values and budget ranges are not detailed in the provided procurement records. The exact pricing information and bidder names from the tabulation are contained within the bid evaluation documentation maintained by TDCJ to ensure transparency in the competitive bidding process and to support the award decision-making process.
