Trenchless Technology Rehabilitation and Related Products and Services

This solicitation, identified as 26-10 and titled “Trenchless Technology Rehabilitation and Related Products and Services,” is issued by Region 4 ESC in Texas and requires all proposals to be submitted exclusively through the online procurement portal at region4esc.ionwave.net by June 25, 2026, at 8:00 PM Central Time. Oral communications are non-binding and do not relieve offerors of their contractual obligations. The contract is structured as a three-year agreement with possible two-year renewals and up to six additional monthly extensions, or extensions necessary to complete a new solicitation; individual purchase orders may extend performance by up to one year beyond expiration. The scope involves supplying trenchless rehabilitation products and services under a cooperative agreement with OMNIA Partners, requiring vendors to guarantee minimum sales volumes, provide training to national sales teams, supply marketing materials with OMNIA branding, and ensure timely onboarding of public agencies. Pricing must be structured as not-to-exceed with cost-plus pricing strictly prohibited, and vendors must submit detailed product and pricing listings along with mandatory certifications including Exhibit A, Exhibit F (Federal Funds), and Exhibit G (New Jersey compliance), as well as an updated W-9, a Deviation Form documenting any deviations from RFP terms, and a Disclosure of Interested Parties form if applicable. Optional submissions include M/WBE, DBE, or HUB certifications and descriptions of value-added services. Specific requirements include compliance with the Buy American Act, Davis-Bacon Act, Energy Policy and Conservation Act, and 2 CFR regulations, along with certification that no covered telecommunications equipment from Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, or Dahua is used. Vendors must attest to their non-debarment status, avoid conflicts of interest via a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire if relevant, and provide indemnification against claims or liabilities arising from their actions. The evaluation emphasizes long-term cost impact, technical capability, implementation timeline within 90 days of award, past experience with Region 4 ESC, national distribution reach, pricing transparency, warranty terms, and adherence to regulatory compliance, though no formal scoring weights or evaluation methodology are disclosed. Performance is expected primarily within Texas, and all documentation must be uploaded as electronic files, with PDF being preferred. Payment terms and invoicing methods are vendor-described but no specific government system like WAWF is mandated. The contract obligates vendors to maintain all records for audit purposes, adhere to federal funding rules, and immediately notify the agency of any changes
