Procurement of S&N AIRFLO 2200 Series Floating Brush Rotors

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Contracts and Procurement Department is seeking bids for two units of S&N AIRFLO 2200 Series Floating Brush Rotors through Invitation for Bids (IFB) solicitation number IW209730. The procurement involves 15 HP in-line flex drive, hot dipped galvanized horizontal floating brush rotors with specific technical requirements, including 230/460 volt 3 phase TEFC motors with constant duty, AGMA Class III gear reducers, and stainless steel foam filled floats. Bids must be submitted electronically to BIDS@TDCJ.TEXAS.GOV or via hard copy to TDCJ's Huntsville office, with electronic submissions preferred and limited to 10 MB per email. Bidders are required to submit one original signed paper copy if choosing hard copy submission. Key dates include a deadline for questions on February 18, 2025 at 3:00 PM CST, with final bid submissions due on February 28, 2025 at 3:00 PM. Delivery will be made to the TDCJ Coffield Unit Maintenance facility in Tennessee Colony, TX, with specific security protocols required for delivery staff, including escort requirements and strict contraband restrictions.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or preferences for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or existing contract information is provided in the documentation. The procurement appears to be a standard equipment purchase with F.O.B. destination prepaid and allowed pricing terms. While no specific budget range or estimated contract value is disclosed, the solicitation is focused on acquiring two specialized industrial rotors for maintenance purposes at a correctional facility. Potential bidders must comply with TDCJ's detailed technical specifications and security protocols, which may limit the pool of qualified vendors to those with experience in correctional facility equipment procurement and delivery. The comprehensive technical requirements and security considerations suggest this is a specialized procurement targeting vendors with specific industrial and correctional facility equipment expertise.
