Purchasing Quoting System

The University of Texas at Dallas is soliciting a digital Purchasing Quoting System to enhance procurement efficiency and reduce overall merchandise spending by enabling users to identify suppliers offering the best value based on cost, delivery, and service metrics. The solicitation, identified as UTD20250611-TB, was posted on May 19, 2026, with proposals due by July 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM CDT, to be submitted exclusively through the Bonfire portal. Respondents must provide a Technical Proposal, Cost Proposal in Excel format, a General Questionnaire in PDF, Terms and Conditions in PDF, and a Signature Page, with a combined file upload limit of 1000 MB and no embedded documents permitted. The procurement is classified under NIGP codes 20871 and 92027, indicating a focus on procurement software services and eCommerce development, with performance expected to occur within the state of Texas. No formal FAR clauses, payment details, accounting codes, inspection criteria, or contract administration personnel are specified in the documentation, and the award basis—whether trade-off or lowest price technically acceptable—is not explicitly defined, though the intent to achieve best value is stated. The system must support supplier evaluation and decision-making functionality within a digital marketplace environment, but no technical standards, performance timelines, delivery terms, or contract value estimates are provided. All submissions are subject to representation and certification requirements via the General Questionnaire, including UEI and CAGE codes and socioeconomic status, though specific responses are not disclosed in the solicitation materials.
