Motorcycle Purchase

Texas A&M University – Central Texas is soliciting bids for the purchase of two exact-model Harley-Davidson Road Glide Police Motorcycles for use on its College Station campus, with the solicitation number TAMU-ITB-5019 posted on May 20, 2026, and responses due by June 5, 2026. The procurement is governed by best value criteria under Texas Education Code 51.9335, with award made to a single vendor on an all-or-nothing basis, evaluating submissions based on price, vendor reputation and quality, technical alignment with institutional needs, past performance, compliance with laws regarding historically underutilized businesses and procurement from persons with disabilities, warranty terms, use of non-proprietary materials, service and delivery performance, and other private business factors. The motorcycles must be delivered F.O.B. Destination, Freight Prepaid and Allowed, to the Texas A&M campus in College Station, Texas, during standard business hours Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST, excluding university holidays. All equipment must meet or exceed applicable federal and State of Texas safety, health, lighting, and noise standards in effect at the time of manufacture; no proprietary materials are permitted unless the institution provides written justification. The vendor must provide a minimum one-year warranty on all parts and accessories, and prompt warranty service is critical, as performance in this area directly impacts the renewal or termination of any future Master Order. Payment is strictly 100% Net 30 upon receipt and acceptance of the motorcycles and an uncontested invoice, with no additional charges allowed for shipping, handling, or fuel surcharges unless formally approved via a Change Order. Texas A&M retains the right to accept or reject any bid, waive informalities, and select the most advantageous offer without obligation to award. The procurement is conducted under NAICS code 441227 and is managed by Jessica Gossett, whose contact information is provided for inquiries.
