Thermal Roll Paper

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division (SPD) has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the procurement of Thermal Roll Paper. The major customers for these items are the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The IFB requests sealed bids for two types of thermal roll paper with specific requirements such as dimensions, coating, and compatibility with certain printers. The initial contract term is from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, with up to four one-year renewal options. Bids are due by February 27, 2024 at 1:30 pm Central Time, and the SPD may request samples prior to award for evaluation. The IFB requires firm, fixed pricing with a price adjustment formula based on the Producer Price Index, and contractors must pay a 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee. The SPD will evaluate bids for responsiveness, risk of non-performance, and best value, and may make awards to multiple vendors for different line items.

The IFB does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Additionally, the provided documentation does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The IFB also does not specify any award values or budget ranges.
