Refrigerant, R-22

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) Statewide Procurement Division is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to procure 80 cylinders of 30 lb non-returnable R-22 refrigerant. The refrigerant must be virgin gas and will be delivered to a facility in Huntsville, TX. The initial contract term will commence upon award and expire upon delivery and acceptance by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) or on August 31, 2025, whichever occurs first. Responses are due by November 4, 2024 at 1:30 pm Central Time. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the lowest price per unit, as the price per unit is the sole evaluation criterion. The IFB requires firm pricing that includes FOB destination delivery, and the customer may perform sample testing to ensure compliance with the stated specifications.

The IFB does not indicate any set-asides or preferences for specific types of organizations, nor does it specify the funding source. The solicitation does not mention any incumbent contractors or the current pricing environment, and it is being conducted using the PeopleSoft Strategic Sourcing system, but the available budget is not specified. The IFB outlines detailed terms and conditions, including requirements related to insurance coverage, subcontracting, invoicing, payments, and intellectual property rights.
