Preserved Animals and Animal Body Parts

The San Jacinto Community College District (SJCCD) in Harris County, Texas is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide a variety of preserved animals and animal body parts. The Request for Proposals (RFP) outlines the specific specimens required, including adult cats, rabbits, fetal pigs, and various other animals and anatomical parts, along with the estimated annual quantities for each item. The contract term will be one year, with the option to renew for up to four additional one-year periods. Proposals are due by 2:00 PM on October 11, 2024, and must include the proposer's qualifications, references, exceptions to the terms and conditions, and a detailed price proposal for the requested specimens, as well as a sample shipping cost to the Central Campus location. The evaluation criteria include the proposer's qualifications, references, exceptions to the terms and conditions, and the proposed pricing.

SJCCD does not give preference to historically underutilized or small businesses, but the selected contractor will be required to track and report on any subcontractors used and their diversity classifications. The RFP does not provide information on any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify a budget range for the procurement. Proposers are required to submit their proposals through the IonWave system, and direct inquiries can be made to Farrah Khalil at farrah.khalil@sjcd.edu or 281-998-6326.
