ROD, HANGER,3/16"" DIA., TYPE 304 SST. | 2099090

The solicitation, identified by number 2099090, issued by the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART), seeks the supply of a specific item: ROD, HANGER, 3/16" DIA., TYPE 304 SST, with delivery performance required within Texas. All bids must adhere to FOB Destination shipping terms, meaning freight costs must be fully included in the submitted price, and DART explicitly rejects FOB Origin or Prepay and Add terms. Time and rate of delivery are strictly enforced as essential elements of the contract, and failure to meet specified delivery schedules constitutes grounds for immediate rejection or default termination. Payment is governed by Net 30 terms, with invoices required to be submitted in triplex format to APInvoices@dart.org, clearly indicating the purchase order number, item details, quantities, unit and extended prices, and one copy labeled “Original.” Invoices must not include any Texas state or local sales tax, as DART is tax-exempt, and any tax included will be deducted from payment. The contract prohibits assignment without the Contracting Officer’s prior written consent and mandates that sellers certify they are not associated with entities doing business with Iran or other foreign terrorist states, and that they do not participate in any prohibited international boycotts, including those targeting Israel. Sellers must also affirm their compliance with equal opportunity requirements, committing to affirmative efforts in employment and subcontracting with minority- and women-owned businesses. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, with the seller responsible for ensuring items meet all specified technical requirements and are of merchantable quality, suitable for intended use, and free from defects. The contract includes broad clauses covering delivery, changes, inspection, payment, default, termination for convenience, and indemnification, all governed by DART’s own proprietary terms rather than formal FAR clauses, though their substance aligns with standard procurement practices. No specific contract value, funding codes, accounting data, or detailed packaging requirements are disclosed, and award is likely based on lowest price technically acceptable, given the emphasis on strict compliance with specifications and delivery timelines, though this is not formally stated. Bids must be submitted electronically through the Bonfire platform, with access to pricing details and submission mechanics available only after completing the “Prepare Your Submission” process. No amendments, contract type designations, or unique entity identifiers are required, and there are no specified sizes or socioeconomic set-asides.
