Portable Buildings, Ramping, Supplies and/or Services

The Southeast Texas Purchasing Cooperative (SETXPC), coordinated by Region 5 Education Service Center in Beaumont, is requesting proposals for portable buildings, ramping, supplies, and related services under RFP No. 20260804, with proposals due August 31, 2026 at 1:00 PM via the Region 5 ESC Procurement Portal (Bonfire).

The solicitation is open to all vendors and establishes one or more competitively awarded contracts for use by SETXPC members — over 100 Texas school districts, charter schools, and other public and not-for-profit agencies. The scope encompasses portable storage buildings, portable classroom buildings, moveable structures, ADA compliance ramping, and services for initiation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of portable buildings. Vendors must quote pricing as a minimum percentage discount off their standard catalog or shelf price, with all pricing calculable at sale and applicable throughout the contract term. Services and labor must be quoted at fixed discounted rates; freight and delivery terms are negotiable at the time of purchase and should not be included in item pricing unless explicitly stated.

The contract runs for 12 months from November 1, 2026 through October 31, 2027, with a maximum total duration of 12 months. No guaranteed annual purchase volumes apply. SETXPC will evaluate proposals using a best-value approach across six criteria: Price/Discount (25 points), Vendor Reputation (15 points), Quality of Goods/Services (25 points), Meeting Member Needs (20 points), Past Relationship with SETXPC (10 points), and Total Long-Term Cost (5 points). Proposals scoring below 70 total points are rejected.

An administrative fee of $200 per proposal is required, payable via PayPal ($210 with service charge) or check. Vendors must comply with Davis-Bacon Act requirements, Equal Employment Opportunity regulations, and federal certifications related to debarment and terrorist organization involvement. A pre-proposal conference may be requested by August 12, 2026 at 10:00 AM. The SETXPC Steering Committee anticipates approval by October 20, 2026.
