Purchase of - Defibrillator *217884

The City of Dallas is soliciting bids for the purchase of defibrillators under solicitation number IFS AVI B2300033, with all items requiring delivery FOB to the designated site at Airport Logistics, 3398 Tom Braniff Ln, Dallas, TX 75235. Bidders must submit quotes exclusively through the online portal at https://dallascityhall.bonfirehub.com/login by the deadline of May 15, 2026, and all products must be brand new, unopened, and in original manufacturer packaging; no substitutions or alternatives are permitted. The solicitation follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, where vendors must first be deemed responsible and responsive—meeting criteria such as financial stability, absence of prior defaults, and no history of fraud—before price becomes the deciding factor. Delivery is governed by FOB delivery site terms, meaning vendors bear all shipping costs and risks until goods reach the site, and the City retains the right to inspect and reject any nonconforming items at the destination without cost to itself. Compliance with local requirements is mandatory, including adherence to Dallas City Code Chapter 15B, which mandates affirmative action and non-discrimination in employment for contracts over $50,000, and Chapter 176 of the Texas Local Government Code, which requires vendors to disclose any conflicts of interest with City officials. While no federal FAR clause numbering or formal representations like UEI, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic certifications are required, vendors must ensure their offerings meet all technical specifications outlined in the solicitation and provide accurate invoicing upon delivery. The procurement is structured as an indefinite delivery contract, meaning individual orders will be issued as needed, with payment tied to actual quantities delivered and accepted. Although no detailed packaging, marking, or barcoding instructions are provided, the requirement for original packaging implies that all items must be shipped in manufacturer-sealed condition. Inspections occur upon delivery, and rejected items are the sole responsibility of the vendor. No payment terms, discount incentives, or invoicing platform details are specified, placing the onus on the vendor to follow City guidelines for billing. Failure to comply with any solicitation requirements may result in disqualification or contract termination.
