FY26_GNS_mowers

The Texas Juvenile Justice Department is soliciting two Pro-Turn ZX 52 Kawasaki ride-on mowers through an Invitation for Bids under solicitation number FY26_GNS_mowers, with bids due by May 22, 2026. The procurement is conducted under the state’s best value selection authority as defined in Texas Government Code §2155.074, allowing consideration of both price and non-cost factors such as technical merit, past performance, and compliance with statutory preferences, though no formal scoring weights or adjectival ratings are specified. The mowers must be new, unused, of current production, and compliant with OSHA, UL, FMRC, and NEMA safety and electrical standards, with delivery required to the Gainesville State Juvenile Correctional Facility in Gainesville, Texas. Bidders must provide Texas Payee ID or Federal EIN, certifications confirming no outstanding state debts, no ownership by foreign adversaries, no use of prohibited AI systems without prior approval, and adherence to labor, discrimination, and anti-boycott laws. The contract includes a non-appropriation clause tied to state legislative funding and liquidated damages of 2% per calendar day for late delivery. Inspection and acceptance are solely the responsibility of the Texas Juvenile Justice Department at the delivery site, and all shipments must be properly labeled with the purchase order number and accompanied by a packing slip. No formal FAR clauses are applicable; instead, the contract relies on state-specific statutory provisions, including requirements from Chapter 2260 and other Texas Government Code sections. Submission is required electronically via email by the stated deadline with a signed bid form, product samples, tax documentation, and full product descriptions, though no formal attachment list or packaging standards beyond labeling are mandated. Funding, invoicing, and payment details are governed by the Texas Prompt Payment Act and state payee systems, with no specific contracting officer or technical representative contact information provided.
