Disaster: Recovery & Remediation

The Goodbuy Purchasing Cooperative has issued solicitation number 26-27 7P000 to establish one-year catalog and hourly rate contracts for Disaster: Recovery & Remediation services in Texas, with the contract term running from February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2027. The contract seeks vendors to provide disaster recovery and remediation products and services on an as-needed basis, allowing for both line-item pricing of specific goods and percentage discounts off published catalogs, as well as hourly rates for service tasks. Vendors may select specific geographic service areas within Texas or nationwide under the cooperative's structure, which facilitates purchasing by multiple public agency members under a single competitively procured contract. The contract incorporates comprehensive general terms and conditions, adherence to federal and state regulations—including compliance with federal procurement standards where federal funds are involved—and strict quality, packaging, delivery, and inspection requirements. Deliveries must be made freight prepaid, F.O.B. destination, typically within ten working days of purchase order receipt, and include detailed packing lists and properly marked cartons. Inspection and acceptance occur primarily upon delivery to the ordering member, with the cooperative having the right to inspect merchandise at the vendor’s facilities. Procurement under this contract is governed by a best value award methodology that evaluates bids based on multiple factors beyond price, including bidder reputation, service quality, past performance, warranty service, and the ability to meet member requirements, with no explicit weighting of criteria specified. Vendors must comply with applicable labor, wage, and safety laws, including the Davis-Bacon Act when federal funds finance construction-related services, and must provide certifications such as the EDGAR Vendor Certification Form and IRS Form W-9. Special contract provisions address bonding, criminal history record checks for contractors working with students, restrictions on assignment or delegation, remedies for breach, and contract termination for cause or convenience. The cooperative handles contract oversight and vendor participation while individual members manage their own orders, payments, and contract administration. Contract amendments, if any, will be issued via addenda through the cooperative’s online bid submission platform, where all bids must be submitted by the December 18, 2025 deadline. Overall, the contract provides a flexible, compliant, and competitively procured framework for Texas public sector entities to secure reliable disaster recovery and remediation services efficiently and in accordance with federal and state requirements.
