The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), operating under Texas Region 8 Education Service Center, has issued solicitation 260805 for Academic and Educational Goods and Services as an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. This solicitation establishes a framework for TIPS members—public entities and qualifying non-profits nationwide—to procure educational supplies and services on an as-needed basis throughout the contract term, without defining a specific scope of work in advance. The contract is designed to streamline procurement by allowing TIPS members to leverage pre-negotiated terms and pricing, ensuring efficiency and compliance across a broad array of academic and educational needs. Entities currently holding contracts 220802, 230807, 240804, or 250802 are excluded from responding, as this new solicitation will replace those agreements if awarded. Holders of contract 230805 for Science Equipment and Supplies must respond to avoid a lapse in coverage, as this solicitation will supersede it. Organizations with other active TIPS contracts covering all their academic offerings may choose not to respond unless they wish to maintain dual contracts. The solicitation was posted on August 6, 2026, with responses due by September 18, 2026, and all inquiries should be directed to bids@tips-usa.com or 866-839-8477.

Auditorium, Stadium, Field Seating, Bleachers, and Installation Services (2 Part with JOC)
Solicitation # 260801
This solicitation by The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), a department of Texas Region 8 Education Service Center, is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Auditorium, Stadium, Field Seating, Bleachers, and Installation Services, structured as a two-part bid. Part 1 covers the provision of goods and non-construction services such as maintenance and minor repairs, while Part 2 is a Job Order Contract (JOC) specifically for projects determined by TIPS Members to be public work construction projects. The determination of whether a sale falls under Part 1 or Part 2 is made by the TIPS Member at the time of need, and vendors are encouraged to respond to both parts to ensure broad eligibility. Pricing flexibility is introduced through the option to apply bid coefficients to either the RS Means Price Book or the BNi® Costbook, giving members greater pricing accuracy and choice. This IDIQ contract will provide an indefinite quantity of services over a fixed term to TIPS public entity members and qualifying non-profits nationwide, with no pre-defined project scope. Vendors currently holding TIPS Contract numbers 23080101 or 23080102 for seating and installation services must respond to this solicitation to avoid contract lapse, as this new award will replace those expiring contracts. Vendors holding other active TIPS seating contracts in either part are not required to respond unless they seek the BNi® Costbook pricing option or wish to extend coverage to the part they do not currently hold. If a vendor holds a current TIPS seating contract other than 23080101 or 23080102 and bids on the same part, their existing contract will be terminated and replaced by the new award. Similarly, vendors with other TIPS contracts covering their construction offerings outside the seating category need not respond unless they desire the BNi® pricing option or wish to hold both a seating-specific and non-seating contract. The solicitation open date is August 6, 2026, with responses due by September 18, 2026, and inquiries can be directed to bids@tips-usa.com.
