SPOT BID FAIR ONLY - TPWD Solicitation for Enclosed Cargo Trailers - Gooseneck & Bumper Pull

Texas Parks and Wildlife is seeking quotes for two enclosed cargo trailers—one gooseneck and one bumper pull—under solicitation number 073-47-78084-COM, with all proposals required to be hand-delivered in person to their 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 2:30 PM Central Time on May 12, 2026. The trailers must meet specific technical standards including a gross vehicle weight rating up to 14,000 lbs, electric brakes, a 7-way wiring harness, DOT-compliant lighting, and must be new, unused, and covered by a full manufacturer warranty covering 100% parts and labor. Delivery is F.O.B. destination to TPWD Headquarters at 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, TX, meaning the vendor bears all shipping, freight, tariff, and handling costs until the trailers are received and accepted at that location. Acceptance inspections will occur within five working days of delivery, and failure to meet any specification will result in rejection. The award will be based on best value, evaluating technical capability, past performance, price, and delivery schedule holistically, with past performance reviewed on a pass/fail basis through the Vendor Performance System—any "C" or "Legacy Unsatisfactory" rating is disqualifying. Contractors must be registered in SAM, comply with Texas HUB certification if applicable, and affirm compliance with state laws including Buy Texas, Buy American for iron and steel, E-Verify usage for all employees performing work under the contract, cybersecurity training for system access, and prohibitions against doing business with designated foreign terrorist entities or entities on the Texas Comptroller’s blacklist. Additional requirements include disclosure of ownership structure, no felony convictions, immigration compliance via Form I-9, adherence to child support obligations, and affirmation that no compensation was received in drafting the solicitation. Proposals must include detailed manufacturer specifications, brand and model data, and any equivalent alternatives must demonstrate full compliance with all technical requirements. No electronic invoice submission system is specified, but invoices must include the purchase order number and remittance address, and no funding codes, accounting lines, or contract administration contacts beyond the delivery liaison are provided.
