RFP UTS/A121 - Elevator Parts, Preventive Maintenance, Repairs, and Inspection Services

The University of Texas System Supply Chain Alliance is issuing a Request for Proposal to identify a Preferred Supplier capable of providing elevator parts, preventive maintenance, repairs, and inspection services across its member institutions and affiliates in Texas. The solicitation, designated as RFP UTS/A121, was posted on October 8, 2025, with a proposal submission deadline of December 11, 2025. The contract size is estimated to range between five and fifteen million dollars, reflecting the scope and scale of ongoing elevator service needs. The procurement emphasizes compliance with Texas state regulations, including ethics and accessibility standards, and requires proposers to submit detailed documentation such as a HUB Subcontracting Plan, W-9, and a Certificate of Interested Parties. The process involves a pre-proposal conference, question period, finalist presentations, and a projected contract start in June 2026. The solicitation is structured around multiple attachments and appendices that define the scope of work, contractual terms, pricing, and compliance requirements. Notably, the contract will be governed by custom provisions rather than standard FAR clauses, with key contractual terms outlined in a sample agreement that proposers may redline and submit for review. The evaluation process will consider responsiveness to scope, pricing reasonableness, compliance with submission requirements, and the proposer’s ability to meet accessibility and ethical standards. The performance will be conducted at various Texas locations, including MD Anderson Cancer Center, with inspections and services performed directly at the facilities. While specific delivery schedules and detailed pricing are not included in the available documents, the procurement emphasizes transparency, regulatory adherence, and the submission of comprehensive proposals through an electronic portal, ensuring a competitive and compliant selection process for this multi-year service contract.
