Athletic & Physical Education Equipment, Supplies, & Associated Services

Humble Independent School District (Humble ISD) is conducting an open and rolling Request for Proposals (RFP 2025-102G) for Athletic and Physical Education Equipment, Supplies, and Associated Services, with the solicitation posted on October 28, 2025. The contract term extends through June 30, 2027, and vendors may submit proposals at any time until March 31, 2027, to be considered for an award. This procurement allows multiple vendors to be reviewed and added to the approved vendor list on a rolling basis throughout the term. All proposals must be submitted electronically via the district's online bidding portal. Verbal inquiries are not accepted; all questions and answers are managed through the electronic bidding system to ensure transparency and equal access for all prospective bidders. The RFP covers a broad range of athletic and physical education equipment and supplies, as well as related services, for delivery to various Humble ISD campuses and administrative facilities within Texas. Deliveries are on an as-ordered basis, with F.O.B. terms requiring vendors to deliver inside the district's designated sites and include shipping costs in their pricing. Evaluation of proposals is based on a best-value tradeoff method rather than lowest price alone, considering factors such as percentage discount offered, product quality, how well offerings meet the district’s needs, vendor reputation, and overall cost-effectiveness. Vendors must provide three to five relevant customer references from educational institutions, submit catalogs or product literature, and comply with state legal requirements including completion of Texas Ethics Commission Form 1295 and IRS Form W-9. Vendors are also subject to stringent background checks and insurance requirements to ensure safety and regulatory compliance on all district properties. The district reserves the right to add or remove locations and adjust pricing post-award with proper notification and approval, reflecting a flexible contract structure to adapt to changing district needs. Lastly, the proposal process mandates strict adherence to submission guidelines, mandatory documentation, and a no-contact policy outside of official communication channels to maintain fairness and integrity throughout the procurement.
