Ciscor body alarm pendants, and nylon pendant cases

This procurement issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) on May 6, 2026, with a due date of May 27, 2026, seeks to procure goods that must be new, unused items of current production compliant with applicable OSHA standards and electrical listings (UL, FMRC, or NEMA). The solicitation requires vendors to submit bids with Texas Identification Numbers and Federal Employer Identification Numbers, with bid pricing remaining firm for 30 days following bid opening. Standard delivery is expected within 14 calendar days unless otherwise specified in the contract, and vendors must provide written notice of any foreseeable delays. The State reserves the right to make awards based on low line item bids, low total bids, or any combination serving its best interests, and may extend contracts up to three months at its discretion. Interested bidders must register with TDCJ by submitting their name, address, fax number, and email address to ensure receipt of all solicitation amendments and modifications, as the agency disclaims responsibility for any bidder's failure to receive amendments if required contact information has not been provided.

Vendors responding to this opportunity must comply with extensive compliance certifications including suspension and debarment verification, antitrust law compliance, E-Verify system utilization for all employees and subcontractors, and adherence to Texas Government Code provisions regarding child support obligations, disaster relief contract prohibitions, and boycott restrictions on Israel, energy companies, and foreign terrorist organizations. The solicitation includes a set-aside for historically underutilized business (HUB) participation in accordance with Texas procurement regulations. Vendors must maintain direct deposit accounts, follow specific shipping and invoicing instructions to avoid merchandise rejection, and permit State Auditor access for investigation and audit purposes. Indemnification requirements obligate vendors to defend the State against all claims arising from vendor acts or omissions, including intellectual property infringement claims, with defense coordination through the Texas Attorney General's office. Payment will be made 30 calendar days after the later of invoice receipt, goods receipt, or service completion. Specific award values or budget ranges were not listed in the available solicitation documents.
