SCBA Conversion Parts

The San Jacinto Community College District (SJCCD) in Texas is soliciting sealed bids from qualified firms to provide parts to convert self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and air tank cylinders from low-pressure to high-pressure systems. The procurement is an Invitation for Bids (IFB) with a bid submission deadline of April 18, 2024. The required parts, including 24 of each item, are to be delivered to the SJCCD Maritime Center in La Porte, Texas. Key dates in the solicitation schedule include the April 10, 2024 deadline for questions/clarifications and the anticipated recommendation and approval of the contract award in April/May. The IFB specifies detailed bid response requirements such as pricing for the parts, at least three references, and any exceptions to the terms and conditions. The College will select one or more companies based on the best value, considering bids that best meet the desired scope of work and specifications.

The IFB does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The IFB states that SJCCD is a public community college district and is tax exempt in the State of Texas, but does not provide any information on possible award values or budget ranges.
