TDCJ-Terrell Unit

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is requesting sealed bids for ice machines at the Terrell Unit facility (IW261571), with bids due August 14, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Amendment No. 1, posted August 6, clarifies specifications and removes an ineligible alternate manufacturer option.

The solicitation requires an air-cooled Vogt HES-40S ice machine or approved equivalent with a minimum daily ice production capacity of 4,000 pounds and cylinder tube ice output only.

The servicing dealer performing warranty work must hold a Texas HVACR Class A license. Vendors must include factory start-up, inspection, and training services performed by a certified manufacturer technician; TDCJ facilities and maintenance staff will handle equipment removal, installation, plumbing modifications, and offloading. TDCJ has confirmed existing electrical service (208–230V, three phase, 60 Hz), water supply, and drainage are adequate at the installation location, and existing ice storage bins compatible with the Vogt HES-40S are on site.

All solicitation documents, amendments, questions and answers, and submissions must be processed electronically through the TDCJ Bonfire procurement portal at https://tdcj.bonfirehub.com.
