Procurement of Poisons Insecticides and Fungicides Dry

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has posted a procurement solicitation with a response due date of May 15, 2026. While the specific goods or services being procured are not identified in the available documentation, this is a formal TDCJ purchasing solicitation governed by comprehensive terms and conditions. Respondents must submit sealed responses on prescribed forms with unit pricing clearly stated, as unit prices will govern in the event of any computational errors. All responses must be time-stamped at the designated TDCJ office on or before the May 15, 2026 deadline; late and unsigned responses will be rejected without exception. Products must be new and unused unless otherwise specified, with electrical items required to meet OSHA standards and bear appropriate certifications from UL, FMRC, or NEMA. Delivery must occur during normal working hours, and failure to meet promised delivery dates will authorize TDCJ to purchase elsewhere and charge any increased costs to the vendor. All pricing must remain firm for 30 days following the response due date, quoted F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid and allowed unless otherwise specified.

Respondents must provide their Texas Identification Number (TINS) and Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) on all response documents and must comply with all applicable Texas and federal laws, including E-Verify system requirements for services contracts and tax exemption certifications. Vendors must submit statutory affirmations covering antitrust compliance, debarment status, child support obligations, human trafficking prevention, and various boycott and discrimination provisions. The TDCJ reserves the right to make awards based on low line-item response, low total of line items, or any combination deemed in the state's best interest, with full authority to reject any or all items and accept or reject all or part of any response at its sole discretion. No specific set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, budget ranges, or award values are identified in the available solicitation documentation. The contract is subject to termination for non-appropriation or unavailability of funds without liability to TDCJ, and all disputes shall be resolved through the process provided in Chapter 2260 of the Texas Government Code.
