Bidders must submit firm pricing valid for thirty days following the bid opening, and all goods must be new and unused unless otherwise specified.

The original bid opening deadline was scheduled for March 12, 2026, at 3:00 PM, with Amendment No. 1 issued on March 16, 2026, providing technical clarification regarding the specific equipment specifications. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of all amendments in their bid submission and are required to register their contact information with the TDCJ Contracts and Procurement Department to ensure notification of any future amendments; the State disclaims responsibility for bidders' failure to receive amendments if they have not provided contact information. All goods must comply with applicable OSHA standards and carry UL, FMRC, or NEMA listings for electrical products.

The procurement incorporates standard Texas purchasing regulations and may include set-asides for small businesses, minority-owned businesses, or women-owned businesses as applicable under Texas procurement law.

Vendors must obtain a Texas Identification Number and Federal Employer Identification Number prior to contract award and comply with electronic funds transfer procedures through the TDCJ Accounts Payable Branch. The State reserves the right to award based on the low line item bid, low total of line items, or other combinations serving the State's best interest, and may extend contracts up to three months at its sole discretion. Payment shall be made thirty calendar days after the later of invoice receipt, goods receipt, or service completion, with all purchases exempt from sales tax and excise tax.
