Service Maintenance Generator

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is requesting bids to establish a purchase order for generator service maintenance under IFB IW265099, with bids due October 22, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Amendment No. 1, posted October 7, clarifies that no past technical data will be provided to bidders and no temporary backup equipment will be required during the service period; bidders must acknowledge receipt of the amendment in their bid submission.

The solicitation contemplates preferences for goods produced or offered by Texas bidders owned by Texas residents or service-disabled veterans, Texas-grown agricultural products, services offered by Texas-based businesses, products manufactured from recycled or environmentally sensitive materials, and vendors meeting minority business enterprise criteria or located in economically distressed areas. The scope involves establishing a framework for acquiring generator maintenance services across TDCJ facilities to ensure continuous operational reliability of backup power systems.

Response prices must be firm for 30 days from the response due date, submitted on an F.O.B. destination basis with freight prepaid and allowed unless otherwise specified. Respondents must complete designated state and local forms, provide evidence of qualifications, insurance certifications, and current contact information including Texas Identification Number and Federal Employer Identification Number. All proposed costs must be reasonable, necessary, and allowable under state statutes, departmental policy, and federal cost standards; non-allowable costs include alcoholic beverages, bad debts, fundraising, political lobbying, and tobacco products. The contract is subject to termination without penalty based on legislative action, lack of appropriated funds, or for convenience with 30 days' written notice. TDCJ reserves the right to make awards based on low line-item response, low total of line items, or any other combination serving the state's best interest, and makes no guarantees regarding quantity or dollar amount to be procured. Delivery is due within 30 days of bid award. Direct written communications to contract specialist Nuvia Ruiz.
