Grounds Maintenance Goods and Services

This solicitation issued by The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), a department of Texas Region 8 Education Service Center, seeks to establish indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts for grounds maintenance goods and services, including turf maintenance but excluding installation. The contracts resulting from this solicitation will allow TIPS members, which include public entities and qualifying non-profits across the nation, to adopt or "piggyback" on these agreements and procure supplies or services as needed over a fixed period. There is no specific project scope; instead, the contracts serve as a standing resource for members to fulfill their grounds maintenance requirements when necessary. Respondents currently holding TIPS Contract 220902 for grounds maintenance must respond to this solicitation to ensure their contract remains active unless they possess another current TIPS contract covering all their grounds offerings. The new contract will replace the expiring one. Conversely, those with other TIPS contracts that already comprehensively cover their grounds services and are satisfied with their current arrangements are not required to respond unless they wish to hold both contracts. The solicitation was posted on September 4, 2025, with a response deadline of October 17, 2025, and is managed under NAICS code 611430, with contract sizes ranging from five to twenty million dollars. Interested parties can contact the designated point of contact via email or phone for further details.
