25 Ft. Fiberglass Boat, Motor Trailer Packages

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is seeking to procure two 25-foot fiberglass boats, each equipped with a 300 horsepower outboard motor and a compatible trailer for its Law Enforcement Division. The solicitation, identified as 802-26-73518 and issued on April 7, 2026, with a response deadline of April 22, 2026, requires vendors to deliver fully assembled, turnkey systems that meet stringent technical and safety standards, including ABYC-compliant electrical wiring, USCG-approved navigation lights, and CARB 3-star rated engines. Delivery must occur FOB destination to one of two designated locations: the College Station or Lubbock regional offices, with all shipping, handling, and associated costs included in the unit price. The procurement includes mandatory components such as a T-top, stainless steel hardware, bilge pump, anchor and rope, spare propeller, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, tool kit, and battery charger, plus optional items like cup holders, canvas covers, GPS/chartplotters, siren systems, and fire suppression systems, which may be awarded based on fund availability. Evaluation for award is based on a best value trade-off approach, weighing price against the vendor’s ability, experience, delivery schedule, and past performance, with failure to meet past performance thresholds resulting in disqualification. Vendors must certify compliance with Texas state laws, including SAM registration, E-Verify usage, cybersecurity training for personnel accessing state systems, and HB 1295 reporting if the contract exceeds $1 million. All equipment must be new, unused, and under manufacturer warranty, with inspection occurring both at the vendor’s facility prior to shipment and at the delivery site upon arrival. The contractor is responsible for correcting any deficiencies at their own expense, covering government inspection travel costs if issues arise during predelivery checks. No formal FAR clauses apply; instead, TPWD’s own numbered terms govern delivery, termination, confidentiality, indemnification, and ethical conduct, including restrictions on hiring former state employees and providing gifts to public officials. Invoices must be submitted electronically to Accounts.Payable@tpwd.texas.gov with the contract number and must use the designated remit-to address, and payment will be processed from state-appropriated funds under Texas Government Code requirements. Vendors are required to provide descriptive literature, brand and model details, and complete pricing on the prescribed bid forms, with submissions accepted via email, mail, or hand delivery by the stated
