N-1 Modular Lease

The Texas Department of Public Safety is seeking to extend a long-term lease for an existing modular building located at its Austin Headquarters at 5805 Guadalupe St., Austin, TX. This solicitation, numbered 405-26R0022713, is being advertised under Texas Government Code § 2155.067 as a sole source or proprietary procurement, though responses from all qualified vendors are encouraged. The modular building must meet specific interior standards, including Level 4 finish 5/8-inch Type X drywall and commercial-grade carpeting, with grounded anti-static ESD VCT flooring required for the telecommunications room. The lease structure is divided into an initial five-year term starting December 1, 2026, a second term, and an optional renewal period extending through November 30, 2041. Award decisions will be based on the best value standard, with a heavy emphasis on past performance and financial stability. Bidders must provide evidence of financial soundness, such as audited financial statements or Dun & Bradstreet reports, and must not have a failing score in the Vendor Performance Tracking System. The submission process requires three distinct volumes: required contract forms, an information bid section, and a pricing response using a mandatory schedule. Contractors are required to submit tax documentation, including W-9 and AP-152 forms, and must certify compliance with child support obligations and foreign adversary restrictions. Additionally, any contractor with access to state computer systems must complete a DIR-certified cybersecurity training program.
