Purchase of Movie License

The City of Dallas is soliciting bids for the purchase of public performance licenses for nine copyrighted films, including Transformers, Lilo & Stitch, Zootopia, Hocus Pocus, and The SpongeBob Movie, to be screened at nine designated aquatics pool locations during the summer and early fall. All licenses must be obtained and delivered as specified, with no substitutions or alternative films permitted, and vendors must submit bids exclusively through the online portal at dallascityhall.bonfirehub.com. The solicitation requires all items to be new, unopened, and in original packaging, with delivery terms set at FOB destination at 10031 E Northwest Hwy, Dallas, TX 75238, meaning bidders must include all freight and delivery costs in their pricing. The contract is valued at $7,020 based on a unit price of $780 for each of the nine licenses, and the award is expected to be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, with cost being the primary and decisive factor. Compliance with U.S. copyright law and Texas Local Government Code Chapter 176 is mandatory, requiring vendors to disclose any financial or employment relationships with City of Dallas officials via a completed Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, with failure to disclose resulting in disqualification or criminal penalties. No alternatives, partial bids, or substitutions are permitted, and all bids must meet the exact specifications outlined in the solicitation. The solicitation was posted on April 24, 2026, with a deadline of April 30, 2026, and was amended once on April 29, 2026, to allow public advertising of film titles. There are no federal acquisition regulation clauses, military standards, invoicing systems, payment details, or contracting officer information provided, as this is a municipal procurement handled through a simplified online bidding process without standard federal contract administration structures.
