BPO for Tire and Shop Supplies

This contract is a Blanket Purchase Order (BPO) issued by the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) for tire and shop supplies, solicited under Req #2099086 with a submission deadline of July 31, 2026. The solicitation requires vendors to submit bids via the Bonfire Supplier Portal, with registration mandatory to access detailed specifications and pricing fields. All proposals must reflect FOB Destination shipping terms, with freight costs included in the quoted price, as DART does not accept FOB Origin or Prepay and Add terms. The period of performance spans 24 months, with deliveries expected anywhere within the State of Texas, though specific delivery locations are not defined. Payment terms are strictly Net 30, with invoices required to be submitted electronically to APInvoices@dart.org in triplicate, one marked “Original,” and must include the purchase order number, item number, description, quantity, unit price, and extended total. Invoices will be paid 30 days from receipt of the invoice or 30 days from receipt of the order, whichever is later. Failure to deliver on time or as specified may result in termination for default, and the seller will be liable for reprocurement costs unless the delay is beyond their control. The seller must comply with a certification prohibiting boycott of Israel and must attest that they are not listed on the Texas Comptroller’s list of entities doing business with Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Texas sales and use taxes must be excluded from all invoices due to DART’s tax-exempt status. Gratuities to public officials are strictly prohibited, and the seller must uphold equal employment opportunity standards for minority- and woman-owned subcontractors. The contract cannot be assigned without prior written consent from the Contracting Officer. No specific packaging, marking, or preservation requirements are detailed, and no military standards are referenced. There are no enumerated evaluation factors for award, no formal contract type designation, and no contract value or pricing data is provided, as the pricing section contains only placeholder “$” values, indicating prices are to be determined by the vendor’s bid. Inspection and acceptance will occur at destination, and all items must conform to DART’s specifications, be of merchantable quality, and suitable for intended use. A Unique Entity ID or CAGE code is not required, and socioeconomic certifications are not solicited. No Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative is named, and no electronic invoicing systems like WAWF are referenced.
