Supply of Aircraft Safety Jacks (Commercial Off-The-Shelf)

The Texas Department of Transportation’s Aviation Division is seeking to procure commercial off-the-shelf aircraft safety jacks for use in routine aircraft maintenance and inspection operations. The contract is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 333999, which covers other miscellaneous manufacturing, and is intended to support the safe handling of aircraft on the ground. The solicitation was posted on May 11, 2026, with a response deadline of January 13, 2026, indicating a potential discrepancy in dates that may require clarification, as the deadline precedes the posting date. All delivered equipment must meet established industry standards for commercial off-the-shelf products, ensuring compatibility, reliability, and safety in operational environments. Performance of the contract is expected to occur at locations designated by the agency, though specific city or state details are not provided. The procurement is managed through the Texas SmartBuy portal, and while no set-aside type or point of contact information is included, the contract emphasizes the use of standardized, readily available jacks that do not require custom modifications. This approach streamlines acquisition, reduces lead times, and ensures consistency across maintenance operations throughout the Aviation Division’s fleet servicing facilities. Bidders are expected to demonstrate product compliance, availability, and the ability to meet delivery timelines without customization. The absence of detailed place-of-performance data suggests the jacks will be distributed to multiple maintenance sites as needed, with the vendor responsible for logistics and compliance with all applicable safety and operational specifications.
