The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is requesting bids for replacement and installation of utility control relay intercom systems and panel boards for J1–J4 pickets at Briscoe Unit in Dilley, Texas, with bids due November 10, 2026.

The scope covers replacement of existing toggle switches with LED push-button 3-way switches controlling door lock functions with red and green LED visual indication, manual fire alarm intercoms, and two-way intercoms throughout the J building. The system design offers both traditional relay-based and programmable logic controller (PLC)-based control architectures. All equipment specifications require non-proprietary systems with "or A/E approved equal" language, allowing vendors meeting specifications regardless of brand references. The project is defined by engineering drawings (MWR #05222018) prepared as of October 27, 2023, with site location at coordinates 28.6597 N / -99.1889 W in Frio County. Laydown areas and disposal locations for removed materials are to be determined by unit warden and maintenance personnel.

Bidders must hold a Texas Identification Number (T.I.N.S.) and Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) prior to contract award. All pricing must be firm for 30 days from the response due date, quoted F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid and allowed. The TDCJ reserves discretion to award based on low line-item response, low total of line items, or any combination serving the state's best interest, and may accept or reject any or all items and parts of responses.
