The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Contracts and Procurement Department has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for lumber products specifically for the TDCJ Ramsey Unit Furniture Factory located in Rosharon, TX. The procurement seeks three distinct white oak wood sheet specifications: 80,000 units of 3/4 A-4 Rift White Oak VX 4x8 sheets, 25,000 units of 1/4 A-4 Rift White Oak VC 4x8 sheets, and 1,500 board feet of 4/4 Rift White Oak, all manufactured by Mt Baker. The bid is scheduled to be opened on October 9, 2025, at 3 P.M., with a deadline for all questions set for October 1, 2025, at 3:00 PM (CST). Electronic bid submissions are preferred and should be sent to bids@tdcj.texas.gov, with a recommended attachment size limit of 10 MB per email. The solicitation requires freight to be F.O.B. destination, prepaid and allowed, with specific state freight/delivery charge parameters. The procurement includes several important set-aside and compliance requirements, particularly for historically underutilized businesses, with strict debarment restrictions and public information act compliance mandates. Vendors must adhere to specific security requirements for delivery staff, including prohibitions on inmate interactions, mandatory vehicle searches, and contraband restrictions, with the unit warden retaining authority to remove individuals who violate these terms. Bidders must participate in the E-Verify system and comply with various state and federal codes related to business ethics and vendor qualifications. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves substantial lumber quantities across multiple sheet specifications. Potential vendors must submit comprehensive documentation, including detailed shipping and invoice guidelines, and be prepared to meet the TDCJ's stringent payment terms of net 30 days after invoice receipt.
