Procurement of Poisons Insecticides and Fungicides Dry

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has issued a procurement solicitation with a response deadline of May 8, 2026, though the specific goods or services being procured are not identified in the available documentation. All responses must be submitted on the designated form, time-stamped at the TDCJ purchasing office on or before the deadline, and must include the respondent's Texas Identification Number (T.I.N.S.), Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN), firm name, and complete address. Respondents must provide firm pricing for 30 days from the response due date, quoted F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid unless otherwise specified, and must comply with all applicable Texas purchasing rules, regulations, and statutes as well as federal requirements including OSHA standards for electrical items, the Americans with Disabilities Act, immigration laws, and cybersecurity requirements. All goods must be new and unused unless otherwise specified and subject to inspection and testing by TDCJ-authorized personnel, with all testing costs borne by the vendor if products fail to meet specifications. Respondents must provide all benefits, pricing, and hourly rates at least as favorable as those granted to any previous client for similar services and products, and must immediately notify TDCJ if more favorable terms are extended to other clients. The TDCJ reserves the right to award based on low line-item response, low total of line-items, or any combination serving the best interests of the State, and may extend any resulting contract up to three months at its sole discretion.

All respondents must comply with extensive certification and affirmation requirements covering antitrust compliance, suspension and debarment status, child support obligations, human trafficking prohibition, foreign adversary restrictions, energy company boycotts, Israel boycott certification, and E-Verify system compliance for service contracts. Payment shall be made in compliance with Texas Government Code Chapter 2251, with vendors required to submit completed W-9 forms and establish direct deposit accounts; invoices must be itemized, reference purchase order numbers, include valid payee identification numbers, and be submitted to TDCJ Accounts Payable within specified parameters. The procurement documents do not identify any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requiring integration. Additionally, no award values or budget ranges are specified in the available documentation. Interested respondents should direct all communications regarding the solicitation in writing to the designated TDCJ purchaser, as respondents are prohibited from contacting user department personnel involved in the solicitation.
