About this opportunity
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is soliciting bids for wildflower seeds through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 601330000043941 for the Houston District Maintenance Operations. The procurement specifically covers two distinct wildflower seed mixes and individual seed options, packaged in 50-pound or 25-pound bags. Wildflower Seed Mix 1 includes eight native Texas flower species such as Texas Bluebonnet, Indian Blanket, and Black-Eyed Susan, while Wildflower Seed Mix 2 features five native Texas flower species with a higher proportion of Texas Bluebonnet. All seeds must be native to and originate from Texas, with seed purity requirements of 80% or higher and less than 5% weed seed. Vendors are required to provide detailed documentation including seed origin, purity percentage, and germination percentage for each species. The solicitation will be managed through the TxDOT Procurement Portal on the Bonfire platform, with bids due by July 31, 2025, at 3:00 PM Central Time. TxDOT will evaluate responses based on the lowest price and the respondent's ability to meet the specified requirements, with a tentative contract award date of August 5, 2025.
The solicitation includes provisions for bid preferences that benefit Texas-based and disadvantaged businesses, including preferences for Texas-produced supplies, businesses owned by service-disabled veterans, and products from economically depressed areas. Vendors must register through the Bonfire website and are encouraged to apply to the Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL) to receive bidding opportunities. The procurement contact is Courtney Skains, who can be reached at Courtney.Skains@txdot.gov or 936-577-5698. TxDOT offers an Early Payment Program that provides vendors with prioritized invoice processing and potential cash discounts. While no specific contract value is explicitly stated, the bid table includes line items for various seed mixtures and specific seed types. The contract is not exclusive to a single vendor, and TxDOT reserves the right to reject any response and make awards to provide the best value to the state, considering factors beyond just the lowest price, such as vendor performance and financial resources.
