Procurement of Feed Supplement.

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is seeking bids to establish a purchase order for the procurement of supplement feed. The contract opportunity is open to all qualified vendors capable of providing the requested goods. The IFB outlines the specific requirements, including the delivery of the feed supplement within a specified number of days. Respondents must indicate if they are submitting a preference claim under the Texas Administrative Code. The solicitation does not provide details on quantities, pricing terms, or contract durations, but it does note that the contract may have potential renewal options.

The TDCJ has determined that subcontracting opportunities are probable under this contract, and all respondents, including Texas-certified Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs), must complete and submit a HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) with their bid response. The HSP outlines the HUB goals for this commodity contract category, which are set at 21.1%. Respondents must demonstrate good faith efforts to utilize HUB subcontractors and provide monthly compliance reports if awarded the contract. The solicitation documents do not provide any information on incumbent vendors, budget ranges, or award values.
