Pesticides

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is requesting bids to establish a purchase order for pesticides, with bids due September 28, 2026. The source does not specify quantities, product types, estimated contract value, contract term, or place of performance.

Bidders must submit responses on the designated form prior to the due date and time; late or unsigned responses are rejected without exception. Responses must include unit pricing with F.O.B. destination, freight prepaid and allowed unless otherwise specified. Price quotes must remain firm for TDCJ acceptance for 30 days from the response due date. Respondents must provide their Texas Identification Number and Federal Employer Identification Number and comply with E-Verify requirements for services.

All products must be new and unused unless otherwise specified. Standard delivery is 14 calendar days unless otherwise specified. All goods are subject to inspection and testing by authorized TDCJ personnel.

The TDCJ reserves the right to award based on low line-item response, low total of line-items, or any other combination serving the State's best interest, and may reject any and all items at its sole discretion. Preference provisions under 34 TAC Rule 20.306 may apply, which could include preferences for Texas-based bidders or goods produced in Texas, though the source does not detail the specific preference structure.

The contract is subject to termination without penalty based on availability of state funds and legislative appropriations. The TDCJ may terminate for convenience with 30 days' written notice. Respondents must comply with debarment and suspension certifications, antitrust affirmations, and various statutory compliance requirements related to child support, disaster relief, foreign adversaries, and other statutory prohibitions.
