Event Center Products, Services and Related - ESC Region 19 Only

The solicitation numbered 22-7433 seeks to establish multiple-award contracts with vendors to provide products, services, and related items specifically for the event center under ESC Region 19 in Texas. The contracting agency is the Allied States Cooperative, operating via the Texas Education Service Center Region 19. This solicitation was posted on January 10, 2022, and will remain open for vendor responses through August 31, 2026, allowing periodic evaluations and awards throughout this timeframe. The procurement is designed to accommodate multiple vendors, enabling the cooperative to meet diverse event center needs through a flexible, multi-award contract approach without fixed pricing or contract value ceilings outlined in the documentation. The contract requires performance within the state of Texas, with services to be rendered at vendor-operated storefronts, explicitly prohibiting home-based business operations. Key requirements for vendors include maintaining a physical storefront, obtaining all necessary permits and licenses, and adhering to quality and local jurisdictional standards. Proposals must detail a method and workplan approach, highlight the qualifications and availability of key personnel with resumes or bios, and demonstrate relevant past experience through summaries of comparable projects completed within the last five years. Submission of electronic catalogs or price lists, manufacturers’ current specification sheets, and proofing of artwork with signed approval from authorized program directors are mandated to ensure compliance and quality control. The evaluation of proposals is weighted primarily on the method and approach (40%), the proposed team’s qualifications (35%), and past experience (25%), using a trade-off process rather than a lowest-price technically acceptable standard. The contracting office contact is Andrea Amiri, purchasing agent for ESC Region 19. While formal federal acquisition regulation clauses and detailed contract administration provisions are absent, special contract conditions emphasize operational compliance, documentation, and service delivery consistent with the cooperative’s standards and member expectations. Proposals must be submitted electronically by the established deadline with no specific page limits or file type restrictions stated.
