Purchase of Postage Meter Equipment

Tarrant County is soliciting bids for the purchase, delivery, and installation of three new postage meter machines for the Facilities Management Department. The equipment will be deployed across two locations: the Administration Building at 100 E. Weatherford and the Justice Center at 401 E. Belknap in Fort Worth, Texas. The contract will be awarded to the lowest bidder who meets all technical specifications. The required machines must be new and Intelligent Mail Indicia compliant, meeting all federal USPS policies and regulations. Technical requirements include compatibility with SendPro 360, the ability to provide rates for USPS, UPS, and FedEx, a minimum processing speed of 270 letters per minute, and a five-pound integrated scale with auto feed and weigh capabilities. Additionally, the equipment must feature a 15-inch touch display monitor with a wireless keyboard and provide comprehensive accounting and analytic reporting. The selected vendor is responsible for on-site delivery, installation, and in-person training for up to ten employees. Payment will only be issued following the successful installation of the equipment. Invoices must be submitted to the Tarrant County Auditor's Office and reference a valid purchase order number, with standard payment processing typically taking thirty days. Vendors must also adhere to Tarrant County's Historically Underutilized Businesses policy and maintain strict data confidentiality and integrity for all county information.
