Switch Units and Parts FY27

The Trinity River Authority of Texas is soliciting competitive bids for switch units and parts for fiscal year 2027, with bids due September 30, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. through tra.procureware.com and bid reading at 2:00 p.m. the same day. HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) status documentation is required if applicable, and bids from nonresident bidders are subject to a preferential evaluation adjustment under Texas Government Code 2252.001.

The scope encompasses 14 line items of Cisco industrial networking equipment: IE-3300 and IE-3500 chassis units, expansion modules, SFP transceivers, power modules, and SD cards, with quantities ranging from 5 to 30 units per item. All products must be new and suitable for shipment and storage. Delivery is quoted on a Delivered Place Unloaded basis to the Authority's designated location at 6500 Singleton Boulevard, Dallas, with a standard delivery expectation of 14 calendar days unless otherwise specified.

The contract term runs for one year from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027. Unit prices must be entered directly into the Procureware Procurement System's pricing tab; pricing submitted through alternative methods will not be accepted. Bids must be submitted on the Authority's official bid specification forms with signatures in ink from an authorized agent.

The Authority will evaluate bids as a whole, by item group, or on an item-by-item basis, considering delivery time, quality, experience, and service record alongside price. Successful bidders must maintain commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, automobile liability insurance of $1 million combined single limit, and workers' compensation insurance at statutory limits. Pre-bid conferences are recommended but not mandatory; registration requires 24 hours advance notice through Procureware and valid government-issued identification for facility access.
