Water sampling for the Coffield Unit

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is requesting bids for a blanket purchase order to establish water sampling services for the Coffield Unit in Tennessee Colony, Texas, with proposals due August 17, 2026.

The scope covers routine water sampling, collection, analysis, and reporting of water quality data across multiple sampling points at the facility. Services must comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act and Texas Water Code requirements, including testing for contaminants, bacteria, and chemical parameters to maintain potable water standards throughout the facility's water distribution system. The vendor must hold certification from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality or an equivalent regulatory body and maintain all required accreditations for water quality testing. The contractor supplies all necessary equipment, supplies, and personnel and is responsible for chain-of-custody procedures and established sampling protocols.

Pricing shall be submitted on a per-sample basis with separate line items for different testing parameters and analysis types. The blanket purchase order structure permits TDCJ to issue task orders on an as-needed basis throughout the contract term, providing flexibility without establishing fixed sample quantities upfront.

No set-aside programs, small-business preferences, incumbent vendor information, specific contract value, or contract term length are identified in the solicitation materials. Site visits and a bidders conference may be available for interested parties; interested vendors should contact TDCJ for scheduling details or consult the full solicitation documents for any pre-bid meeting dates and additional procedural requirements.
