Terrell unit water sampling

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is requesting bids to establish a blanket purchase order for water sampling services at the C.T. Terrell Unit in Rosharon, Texas, with bids due August 17, 2026.

The contractor shall provide comprehensive water sampling and laboratory analysis services, including collection of samples from multiple points throughout the facility, testing, chain-of-custody documentation, and detailed reporting. Services encompass routine monitoring and emergency sampling as needed. The contractor must maintain laboratory accreditation, employ qualified personnel certified to perform sampling activities, and comply with EPA and state regulatory standards for water quality. Results must be delivered within specified timeframes. All sampling activities must be coordinated with TDCJ facility management to minimize operational disruption.

The blanket purchase order structure allows TDCJ to issue individual task orders for specific sampling events throughout the contract period, with payment based on actual services rendered according to unit pricing established for individual sampling events and test types. TDCJ retains the right to adjust order volumes based on operational needs, and the contractor must maintain capacity to accommodate emergency or surge requests. The contractor must demonstrate expertise in correctional facility water systems and provide documentation supporting regulatory reporting requirements.

No specific contract value, contract term duration, set-asides, preferences, or evaluation criteria are stated in the available materials. The source does not identify an incumbent or pre-bid meeting date.
