Corn Harvester/Combine Equipment Rental

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is seeking to rent two corn harvesters or combines for use during the upcoming harvest season, with the equipment to be delivered to and retrieved from the designated location in Texas. The contract requires the vendor to ensure the machines are available on-site throughout the harvest period, fully operational and ready for immediate use, though no operator labor or personnel services are included. The rental agreement encompasses all necessary logistics for delivery and retrieval, placing full responsibility on the contractor to manage transportation and timing in alignment with the harvest schedule. The equipment must meet all functional and safety standards required for agricultural operations in Texas conditions. This subcontract opportunity, identified under NAICS code 532412 for commercial and industrial machinery and equipment rental, is open for responses until August 10, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 22, 2026. Bidders must be prepared to fulfill the terms without reliance on the agency for labor, maintenance, or operational support beyond the equipment provision. The place of performance and specific delivery details are not disclosed in the posting, requiring interested parties to request further information directly. The contract falls under TDCJ’s broader initiative to secure critical agricultural equipment for use on state-owned lands and facilities, with the goal of optimizing resource utilization without assuming ongoing operational responsibilities.
