Food Services - Ice Machines

Leander Independent School District is soliciting proposals from qualified vendors to provide food service ice machines under solicitation number 26014L31, issued in accordance with Texas Education Code Chapter 44, Sub-chapter B, and aligned with federal procurement standards under Title 2, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 200 Subpart D, as well as the Texas Department of Agriculture's Administrator's Reference Manual. The solicitation, posted on June 18, 2026, with a response deadline of August 6, 2026, is potentially a multiple award procurement, targeting vendors capable of supplying ice machines that meet the District’s operational and compliance requirements. The NAICS code associated with this procurement is 423740, indicating a focus on commercial refrigeration and HVAC equipment distribution. All proposals must be submitted electronically through the District's online portal, and vendors must comply with all specified terms, including proper documentation, certifications, and adherence to applicable state and federal statutes. The point of contact for inquiries is Lorretta Posada, who may be reached via email or phone as listed in the solicitation metadata. Vendors are required to demonstrate experience in supplying similar food service equipment and must submit all mandatory certifications and documentation, including non-collusion assurances, debarment clearance, and compliance with equal opportunity and non-discrimination requirements. Although the document references bonding, insurance, and compliance provisions from other solicitation files, those are extraneous to the current procurement and do not apply; the only applicable legal framework is Texas state law and associated federal procurement regulations. The successful vendors will be selected based on their ability to meet technical specifications, deliver reliable equipment that ensures food safety and operational efficiency in school food service environments, and comply with the terms of award. Payment will be governed by standard terms, with invoices requiring precise matching to bid line items and subject to review and approval before remittance within 30 days of acceptance. The place of performance is within Texas, and all deliveries must align with the District’s schedule and facility requirements. No late submissions will be accepted, and all proposals must be complete, properly executed, and accompanied by any required attachments to be considered responsive.
