Portable Corral System Supply and Assembly

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is seeking a subcontractor to supply, deliver, and potentially assemble a durable, transportable corral system designed for secure animal containment within state correctional facilities. The system must be robust enough to withstand heavy use in a high-security environment while remaining portable for relocation as needed. The contract calls for the provision of all components required for full functionality, with the possibility of on-site assembly to ensure proper installation and compliance with facility specifications. The equipment is intended for operational use in managing animals associated with correctional programs or security logistics, requiring high standards of safety, durability, and ease of deployment. The solicitation, posted on July 15, 2026, has a response deadline of July 30, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 332420, which pertains to metal window and door manufacturing, indicating the specialized metal fabrication and structural design expected from the supplier. The place of performance is not specified beyond the state of Texas, allowing flexibility for delivery to various correctional units across the department. Interested parties must submit proposals through the Texas SmartBuy portal, and the opportunity is classified as a subcontract, meaning it may be awarded to a vendor supporting a prime contractor or directly to a qualified supplier capable of fulfilling all contractual requirements independently.
