EL PASO VAULT DOOR REPLACEMENT

The Texas Military Department is soliciting competitive bids for the El Paso Vault Door Replacement project, solicitation number TMD26-CFMO-0045489, as an Invitation for Bids under Texas Government Code authority. The work is at the Hondo Pass Readiness Center, 9100 Gateway North Blvd., El Paso, Texas 79924, and consists of furnishing all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, permits, testing, certifications, and incidental work needed to remove the existing GSA Class 3 vault door assembly and install a new GSA-approved Class 5-A vault door assembly. The project is state-focused but incorporates substantial federal-style security, construction, and compliance requirements, including GSA certification, manufacturer installation standards, applicable building codes, OSHA, UL, UFC, and Army physical security regulations. The estimated project cost is $35,000, and award is intended to go to the most responsive, responsible bidder offering the lowest price, subject to funding availability. The solicitation was posted July 29, 2026, with responses due by August 25, 2026, at 1:00 PM CST by email to the designated contract email address, and vendors must attend one of two mandatory site visits on August 5, 2026 at 10:00 A.M. MDT or 1:00 P.M. MDT or be disqualified. Questions were required to be submitted by email, and no technical questions would be answered at the site conference. The procurement package includes required attachments such as direct deposit authorization, Texas Identification Number application, standard terms and conditions, pricing schedule, solid waste reporting form, scope of work, and wage rates. Key administrative and compliance requirements include electronic funds transfer for payment, detailed invoicing, criminal history background checks, insurance, certifications regarding antitrust, Buy Texas, child support, E-Verify, boycott of Israel and energy companies, exclusion/debarment, false statements, and foreign adversary ownership, along with standard Texas contracting provisions on audit rights, contract term, compliance with law, and signature authority. The contract administration points to Clarissa Campos as the primary contract specialist and Gabriel Lodoza as the project manager, while the work itself requires complete demolition and modification of the opening, installation of the new vault door and locking system, on-site testing, warranty documentation, and final government acceptance at the performance site.
