Vivarium Management and Watering System

The Texas A&M University System is seeking bids for a vivarium management and watering system through an Invitation to Bid (ITB-25-0520) published on July 8, 2025, with proposals due by July 23, 2025. The procurement is specifically for a comprehensive system to manage and support vivarium operations, with all bid documents and potential addendums to be accessed exclusively through the AggieBid electronic platform. Vendors must register within AggieBid to view and respond to the solicitation, with strict submission deadlines enforced by the online system. For technical support and registration assistance, vendors can contact vendor help at vendorhelp@tamu.edu or Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu. The bidding process requires creating an account, clicking the "Respond Now" button, and following login instructions, with a clear mandate that all bids must be submitted electronically through AggieBid and no submissions will be accepted after the specified close date.

While specific details about set-aside designations or vendor restrictions are not explicitly outlined in the provided documentation, the procurement appears to be an open competitive bidding process for a specialized vivarium management system. The solicitation targets vendors capable of providing a comprehensive watering and management solution for laboratory animal facilities. No incumbent vendor information or specific budget ranges were disclosed in the available documents. Interested vendors will need to access the full solicitation details through the AggieBid platform to understand the complete scope of qualifications, technical requirements, and potential contract value. The procurement is limited to the Texas A&M University System, suggesting this is an institutional-specific procurement rather than a broader state-wide contract opportunity.
