Transportation Supplies, Equipment, and Services

Southwest Independent School District is soliciting proposals for transportation supplies, equipment, and services under solicitation number 2223-125 Addendum 2. This procurement is conducted as a best-value selection process rather than based on the lowest price alone, with evaluation weighted toward the vendor's ability to meet district needs (50 points), proposer reputation (35 points), and references (15 points). The contract is intended to be a flexible framework agreement where the district may make multiple awards and is not obligated to minimum or maximum purchase quantities. Performance is located in Texas, with administrative and payment operations based in San Antonio. The solicitation requires electronic submission of proposals in PDF format, including mandatory attachments such as a W-9, Non-Collusive Bidding Certificate, HB 1295 compliance document, Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, and an Out of State Certifying Statement. Key contractual terms include a 30-day written notice for cancellation, a requirement for vendors to be free of delinquent property taxes to the district, and a prohibition on contract assignment without written consent. The district is tax-exempt, and the contract is contingent upon the continued appropriation of funds. The primary point of contact for this procurement is Jason Morgan, Director of Purchasing.
