TDCJ-Halbert State Jail

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is soliciting bids for the procurement of ice machines under solicitation number IW261567, with submissions due by August 14, 2026. The procurement is being conducted through the TDCJ Procurement Portal on BonfireHub, and all proposals must be submitted electronically after vendors register via the Euna Procurement system. The place of performance is in Texas, though no specific facility or city is identified, and the NAICS code 312113 classifies this as a beverage manufacturing procurement with a small business size standard of $8 million in average annual receipts. The contract is expected to result in a purchase order, but no estimated value, line-item pricing, or quantity details are provided in the available documentation. The primary point of contact is Emili Talasek, who serves as the procurement liaison and can be reached via email or phone. While the solicitation outlines the need for ice machines, it does not specify technical requirements such as capacity, energy efficiency, NSF certifications, or warranty terms. Inspection and acceptance will occur in Texas, with responsibility implied to rest with TDCJ, though no formal inspection criteria or standards are detailed. Payment processing must be completed electronically through the procurement portal, and the agency code 696 is referenced for accounting purposes, but no remittance or banking details are included. No contract clauses, evaluation factors, special requirements, or attachments are visible in the provided materials, indicating that full compliance depends on accessing the complete solicitation documents on the BonfireHub portal. Vendors are expected to complete all representations and certifications through the portal, including verification of entity identification, though no specific socioeconomic certifications or affirmative responses are disclosed here.
