Law Enforcement Motorcycles

The Statewide Procurement Division of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts is soliciting sealed bids for law enforcement motorcycles under solicitation number 304T-26-071A1, with a response deadline of May 19, 2026. The primary customer for these motorcycles is the Texas Department of Public Safety, and all deliveries are to be made to addresses specified on individual purchase orders issued through Texas SmartBuy. The solicitation requires vendors to submit a fully completed Mandatory Price Sheet in .xml or .xlsx format, along with six attachments including Execution of Response, Respondent Information, Preferences, Insurance Statement of Intent, Self-Insured Retention Certification, and Authorized Warranty Service Provider documentation—all signed and submitted as PDFs. Proposals must be submitted electronically to SPD.ebids@cpa.texas.gov or via express mail to a designated Austin address, with electronic submissions limited to 10 MB per attachment. The contract will be awarded based on best value, evaluated through a holistic assessment of responsiveness, risk of non-performance, and overall value including compliance with specifications, price, delivery schedule, and vendor reliability, rather than lowest price alone. The motorcycles must be new, commercially produced, and meet stringent technical requirements including a minimum 1300cc engine displacement, factory-installed OEM parts and options, ABS, TFT displays, and rider assistance systems. Each unit must include a minimum three-year or 60,000-mile warranty and be accompanied by full documentation such as the VIN, Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin, Texas inspection sticker, and title application. Contracting parties are prohibited from adding advertising decals and must comply with state laws including Texas Transportation Code and 43 TAC Chapter 215. Vendors must carry at least $500,000 in commercial general liability insurance with an A- or better AM Best rating, and must name the State of Texas as additional insured. Subcontractors and key personnel require prior approval for changes, and any organizational conflicts of interest must be disclosed. All contract-related records must be retained for the term of the contract and delivered upon request. The state retains full authority for inspection and acceptance at the delivery destination under FOB Destination terms, with no automatic acceptance upon receipt. Invoicing must include the CPA contract number and customer purchase order number, with payment processed on a net 30-day basis, though no specific remittance details or electronic invoicing systems like WAWF are mandated.
