Contingency & Emergency Response Support

Tarleton State University is soliciting subcontractors to provide emergency response and backup transportation services to ensure uninterrupted transit operations during mechanical failures. The scope includes rapid deployment of replacement trailers, towing support, and coordination of alternate routing to minimize downtime and maintain schedule integrity. Services must be available on demand across all operational areas, with responders required to act swiftly and reliably under urgent conditions. The contract is classified under NAICS code 488210 for support activities for rail transport, though services will apply broadly to freight and logistics movements. Responses are due by June 16, 2026, with the opportunity posted on the Texas SmartBuy platform for qualified vendors seeking to support the university’s transportation resilience objectives.
