Stainless Steel V-Box Spreaders-Tyler District

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is seeking solicitation #601310000094317 for Stainless Steel V-Box Spreaders specifically for the Tyler District, with proposals due on March 6, 2025. This procurement opportunity requires vendors to submit responses through the TxDOT Procurement Portal at txdot.bonfirehub.com, with Chester Osborne III serving as the primary procurement contact. Vendors must be registered on the Bonfire platform and listed on the Texas Comptroller's Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL) to be eligible for bidding. The procurement focuses on acquiring stainless steel V-box spreaders, which are likely specialized equipment for transportation infrastructure maintenance, potentially used for road treatment or material distribution. Interested vendors must carefully follow the provided instructions, including completing all required documentation and adhering to the submission guidelines outlined in the Instructions to Respondents document. TxDOT has structured this procurement using the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) code system to standardize the purchasing process and ensure comprehensive vendor selection.

The solicitation appears to offer an Early Payment Program that provides vendors with prioritized invoice processing in exchange for cash discounts, which could be an attractive incentive for potential bidders. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, TxDOT typically follows state guidelines for potential disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) participation. The procurement does not specify a precise award value or budget range for the stainless steel V-box spreaders. To participate, vendors must complete and return a "Priority Invoice and Early Payment Program" form if they wish to take advantage of the early payment incentive. Potential respondents should carefully review all documentation and ensure they meet the technical and administrative requirements for submission. Registration on both the Bonfire platform and the Texas Comptroller's CMBL is mandatory for consideration in this procurement opportunity.
