Purchase of Printed Manifest Forms - 217504

The City of Dallas is soliciting bids for the purchase of printed manifest forms under solicitation number IFS DWU B2600025, with a proposed bid deadline of May 7, 2026, and a posting date of May 1, 2026. All items must be delivered FOB the designated site at Water/Central Wastewater, 1020 Sargent Road, Dallas, TX 75203, meaning vendors must include freight costs in their pricing and bear full responsibility for delivery, including the return of nonconforming goods at their own expense. Products must be new, unopened, and in original packaging with no substitutions or alternatives permitted. The solicitation is structured as an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract under NAICS code 323111, and awards will be made on a lowest price technically acceptable basis to the lowest responsive and responsible vendor, with no trade-off analysis or scoring of non-price factors. Vendors must comply with extensive contractual obligations, including adherence to City of Dallas ordinances and Texas state law, particularly Chapter 15B of the Dallas City Code, which mandates non-discrimination and affirmative action in employment for contracts exceeding $50,000 in goods or services. Insurance requirements include general liability and workers’ compensation coverage, and vendors must provide a current certificate prior to order release. Payments are subject to City of Dallas procedures, with invoices to be submitted following delivery, but no specific remittance address or electronic invoicing system like WAWF is specified. The City holds the exclusive right to inspect and accept all deliveries at the delivery location, rejecting any items that fail to meet specifications regarding quality, condition, or conformity. Vendors are required to indemnify the City against claims arising from their negligence or breach of warranty, though the City retains no indemnity for its own sole negligence. Financial responsibility is strictly evaluated, and vendors with outstanding debts to the City—such as unpaid taxes, utilities, or permit fees—are disqualified. Tax exemption applies, prohibiting vendors from including any sales or use tax in quotes or invoices, and no contract assignment is allowed without prior written consent. There are no requirements for Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, or socioeconomic certifications, and no formal evaluation weights or scoring system is used. All submissions must be made online via the City’s BonfireHub portal, and failure to meet any of the mandatory responsibility criteria—ranging from past performance failures to collusion—
