RFP Paint and Paint Supplies

The City of Fort Worth is soliciting proposals under RFP 26-0224 to establish non-exclusive agreements for the supply of paint and paint supplies to its various departments on an as-needed basis. The solicitation, posted on July 8, 2026, with a response deadline of August 6, 2026, targets vendors capable of meeting municipal procurement standards under NAICS code 424950. Contracts will be awarded on a best value basis, not solely on lowest price, evaluating factors such as purchase cost, product quality, proposer reputation, alignment with city needs, past performance with the City, compliance with small business participation goals, and total long-term cost. The initial contract term is one year, with the possibility of up to four one-year renewals contingent on funding availability, satisfactory performance, and written notice by the City at least 90 days prior to expiration. Delivery terms require FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid and Allowed, with all goods delivered to designated City locations within Tarrant County, Texas. Vendors must submit proposals exclusively through the Euna Portal, adhering to formatting and documentation requirements, including certified Small Business Enterprise status if claimed, with proof of current certification from approved agencies. Affirmative SBE status triggers requirements to include SBEs in the utilization plan, execute formal agreements with subcontractors, and grant audit access to verify compliance. Invoices must be submitted electronically in PDF or TIFF format at 300 DPI to a designated City email, clearly labeled with purchase order, supplier, and invoice numbers, and remitted to specified addresses. Price adjustments may be requested annually with documented justification, and all contract changes must be made in writing per change order procedures. The City reserves the right to audit records, conduct interviews, and enforce conflict of interest restrictions aligned with Texas law, requiring disclosure of interested parties via Form 1295 where applicable. No federal systems like WAWF or CAGE codes are required, and no specific CLINs or contract values are provided, reflecting a flexible, requirements-based procurement approach with emphasis on transparency, equity, and long-term value.
