SPOT BID FAIR ONLY - TPWD Dump Trailers

Texas Parks and Wildlife (TPWD) is soliciting three new dump trailers for its State Parks Division under solicitation number 073-50-78974-SP, with proposals required to be hand-delivered in person to the TPWD booth at the Senator West 'Doing Business Texas Style Spot Bid Fair' in Irving, Texas, on May 11–12, 2026, with a firm deadline of May 12, 2026, at 2:30 PM CT. All pricing must be F.O.B. destination, inclusive of all shipping, freight, tariffs, and handling charges, and delivery must be completed within 30 calendar days of award, or within 14 days if no alternative timeframe is specified. The trailers must be brand new, non-remanufactured units meeting specific technical requirements including steel ramps between five and six and a half feet, dump body sides between 20 and 24 inches, DOT-compliant lighting and safety chains, and must be accompanied by a manufacturer’s warranty, Statement of Origin, title application, and proof of inspection. Each unit must be clearly labeled with the VIN, manufacturer’s name, model number, and adhere to TPWD’s naming conventions. Acceptance occurs at TPWD’s Fleet Division in Austin, Texas, where the department will conduct physical inspection and testing; the agency does not have a loading dock, so delivery must be arranged to allow TPWD to avoid unloading responsibilities. The award will be made based on Best Value, not lowest price alone, evaluating technical compliance, past performance (pass/fail only), delivery schedule, and price through a trade-off process without predefined weights or numerical scoring. Invoices must include the contractor’s name, Taxpayer Identification Number, remittance address, and purchase order number, submitted as original paper documents without electronic invoicing platforms like WAWF or IPP. Payment will be processed through TPWD’s central finance office, though no specific remittance address beyond the main departmental mailing information is provided. Contractors must certify compliance with Texas-specific requirements, including the Historically Underutilized Business program, E-Verify employment verification, child support obligations, and prohibitions on activities related to divestment from Israel. No federal identifiers such as UEI or CAGE codes are required, but a Texas Identification Number (TIN) is mandatory. Subcontractors must meet the same standards as the prime contractor, and the contract cannot be assigned without written consent. TP
