SCREW, S/METAL, PHIL, PH, #6 X 3/8", ZINC (Box of 100) - ref 2094177

The state and local contract opportunity involves the procurement of screws for Dallas County, specifically a box of 100 zinc-plated, Phillips pan head metal screws sized #6 x 3/8", with a reference number of 2094177. The opportunity was posted on August 18, 2025, with a response deadline of August 21, 2025, targeting vendors capable of supplying this specific hardware item. The procurement is being conducted through the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART), a public transit agency in Texas. The attached Purchase Order Terms and Conditions document provides a comprehensive framework for potential suppliers, outlining standard government contracting requirements, payment procedures, and compliance expectations. Key requirements include submitting invoices in triplicate, adhering to payment terms of 30 days, and confirming compliance with equal opportunity employment standards and specific certification requirements related to foreign terrorist organizations and Israel-related business practices.

The contract opportunity appears to have standard government procurement protocols without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. The terms indicate that vendors must comply with Texas state law, with any potential legal disputes to be resolved in Dallas County. While no specific award value or budget range is detailed for this particular screw procurement, the standard terms suggest a competitive bidding process with rigorous vendor qualifications. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to provide the exact specified hardware (zinc-plated #6 x 3/8" metal screws), meet tax compliance requirements, and provide certifications affirming they are not associated with foreign terrorist organizations and do not boycott Israel. The procurement seems to be a standard, small-scale hardware acquisition consistent with typical municipal and transit authority purchasing processes.
