Pool of Vendors, Signage

Texas A&M University is soliciting bids through an Invitation to Bid to establish a Blanket Agreement and a Pool of Vendors for the provision of various signage and related installation services at its College Station, TX campus. The solicitation, identified as TAMU-ITB-27-5120, opened on September 28, 2026, and requires all responses to be submitted by October 19, 2026. While the university prefers electronic submissions via the AggieBid portal, manual submissions are permitted through express mail, US postal service, or hand delivery to the procurement office. The contract aims to create a Master Order system where vendors will provide materials, supplies, and installation services according to detailed technical specifications. Prospective vendors must adhere to strict compliance and pricing requirements to avoid automatic disqualification. A critical requirement is the submission of a State of Texas Subcontracting Plan; failure to provide a plan that meets minimum standards will result in the immediate rejection of the bid. Additionally, bidders must provide a sample Certificate of Insurance, a list of references, and a W9 if responding manually. Pricing evaluations will focus on the percentage discount offered for materials and supplies, hourly rates, and any additional installation charges. All deliveries must be F.O.B. Destination, Freight Prepaid and Allowed to College Station, meaning the vendor bears all costs for shipping, handling, and fuel. Payment terms are set at 100% Net 30 upon the successful receipt, installation, and acceptance of goods or services.
