Water Pumps

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is soliciting bids to establish a purchase order for water pumps in Lovelady, Texas, with responses due November 6, 2026 through the Bonfire portal at tdcj.bonfirehub.com. Vendors must register before submitting, and the portal is the only submission channel. Responses are final and irrevocable once submitted, and TDCJ will not accept late submissions under any circumstances. Vendors should allow at least one business day for file uploads, and amendments will be issued only through the portal.

The source does not detail technical specifications or quantities for the pumps. The standard terms require electrical items to meet OSHA standards and carry appropriate UL, FMRC, or NEMA certifications. Respondents must also certify E-Verify use for contract services, ADA compliance, non-suspension or debarment status, and non-involvement with terrorism. Respondents may not use artificial intelligence systems in performance without prior written consent, and they must disclose prior state employment for consulting services. Respondents must indemnify TDCJ and the State of Texas against liability claims arising from performance.

Pricing must remain firm for 30 days from the response due date. Delivery is required within 14 calendar days unless otherwise specified, with F.O.B. destination and freight prepaid as the default. TDCJ may award on low line-item response, low total of line-items, or any combination serving the state's best interest, and it may reject any or all items. Purchases for State of Texas use are exempt from state sales tax and federal excise tax, and TDCJ will furnish exemption certificates on request.

Questions and requests for clarification must go through the electronic bid system by the dates the solicitation indicates. The primary TDCJ procurement contact is Nahomy "Hannah" Pabon Toste at Nahomy.pabon@tdcj.texas.gov. Technical support is available from Euna Procurement at support.bonfire@eunasolutions.com.
