Purchase of Disc

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is requesting bids to establish a purchase order for the procurement of one disc under IFB IW266254, with bids due October 8, 2026. Texas bidder preferences under 34 TAC Rule 20.306 apply: evaluation preference is available for goods produced or offered by Texas bidders owned by service-disabled veterans, and separately for goods produced in Texas or offered by Texas bidders not owned by such veterans. Bidders must indicate their preference category if applicable.

The solicitation documents do not specify the disc's technical specifications, intended use, dimensions, materials, or other performance requirements. Respondents must submit specification data sheets and access additional procurement information through the TDCJ Procurement Portal at https://tdcj.bonfirehub.com.

No contract value, incumbent contractor, or detailed evaluation criteria are stated in the available materials. Quoted prices must be firm for thirty days from the response due date and quoted on an F.O.B. destination basis with freight prepaid and allowed. TDCJ reserves the right to make awards based on low line-item response, low total cost, or any combination serving the state's best interests. Payment terms are Net 30. All goods are subject to TDCJ inspection and testing, with defective products rejected at the vendor's expense.

Respondents must comply with all applicable Texas purchasing rules, enter their Texas Identification Number (T.I.N.S.) and Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) on response documentation, and submit a completed Vendor Maintenance Direct Deposit and Substitute W-9 Form to TDCJ Accounts Payable. Time-stamped responses must be submitted by the deadline to the designated TDCJ office; late and unsigned responses are rejected.
