721-26089 - Turnkey Ultrapure DI Water System

The University of Texas at Austin is seeking qualified vendors to provide a complete turnkey ultrapure deionized water system, encompassing design, installation, commissioning, and delivery under solicitation number 721-26089. The effort is classified under NAICS code 237110 for water supply and irrigation systems, indicating a focus on specialized water infrastructure tailored for high-purity applications such as semiconductor or laboratory environments. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the BonfireHub portal by the deadline of June 24, 2026, at 1:00 PM Central Time, with no physical submissions accepted. The place of performance is in Texas, though the exact facility location is not disclosed, and the system must be fully operational upon handover, meeting industry standards for ultrapure water quality despite specific metrics like conductivity or particle counts not being listed. The contracting officer’s representative is Ethan Walje, who serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries and can be reached via email or phone. The procurement is administered under state-level processes with agency code 721 and oversight through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, and invoicing is expected to be handled via BonfireHub rather than federal systems like WAWF. No contract value, pricing structure, or CLIN details are available, and while standard contract clauses under FAR Sections I, H, and others are referenced as missing, the solicitation implies compliance with industrial water purification benchmarks such as ASTM, SEMI, or USP standards based on context. Evaluation criteria for award are not published, and no information is provided on the award methodology, whether LPTA or trade-off. No packaging, marking, or special contractual requirements such as security clearances or organizational conflict of interest provisions are specified. Offerors are expected to possess a valid UEI and meet small business size standards where applicable, though no socioeconomic set-asides are indicated. All essential submission instructions, proposal formatting rules, and technical appendices are available only through the BonfireHub portal, which serves as the exclusive source for complete documentation.
