Inflatable Rentals (Repost)

The University of Texas at Austin is seeking proposals for inflatable rentals under solicitation RFP-721-26088, with a response deadline of June 26, 2026, at 2:30 PM CDT. The solicitation, classified under NAICS code 532289 and NIGP code 03725, requires proposers to demonstrate a minimum of five years of operational experience with inflatable attractions in the Greater Austin/Central Texas area, along with proven capability to manage staffing and supervision for large-scale public events. Proposers must maintain a secure, climate-controlled storage facility, uphold a documented safety record compliant with Texas amusement ride regulations and insurance requirements, and provide company and financial information as part of their submission. All pricing must be firm-fixed and all-inclusive, with no additional fees allowed, and must be submitted through the Euna Procurement Portal using specific formats including a price list, event-day service fees via BidTable BT-07KV, proposed discounts, and a prompt payment discount percentage. Three optional pricing models are available: a commission structure based on gross revenues, trade services in exchange for use of university-owned inflatables, or a detailed revenue-share program with specified payment terms and revenue tracking methodology. Proposals must include mandatory documentation such as an execution of offer form, a cover letter in PDF, acknowledgments of all addenda and Attachment One (General Information), and confirmation of acceptance of payment under the SUA Program. Respondents are required to designate a primary contact with full name, title, email, and phone number for communication. Any deviations from the terms in Attachment Two (Agreement) must be submitted as a red-lined version of the agreement with a detailed rationale for each exception. Submission requires use of modern web browsers with JavaScript and cookies enabled, and each finalized submission triggers an email confirmation with a unique identification number. The place of performance is in Texas, with no specified period of performance or contract ceiling. Evaluation will focus on qualifications and reputation, technical and operational capabilities including facility compliance and safety procedures, staffing resources and prior relationship with the University, and financial and cost proposals including revenue-sharing and discount structures. There is no set aside designation, and the award basis is not explicitly defined, leaving decision criteria to be determined based on the comprehensive review of all submitted materials.
