Vending Services

Collin County is soliciting bids for vending services at designated county facilities under Solicitation Number 2026-325, with a response deadline of August 6, 2026. The contract requires a qualified vendor to furnish, install, stock, maintain, service, and repair vending equipment including cold beverage machines and snack machines across Texas locations, ensuring uninterrupted service that aligns with the removal of the current provider’s units. The vendor must provide all equipment and services under FOB Inside delivery terms, bearing all delivery, freight, installation, and setup costs, and must comply with minimum location and machine requirements as specified. Evaluation and award will be based on the highest commission offered to the County, calculated by multiplying the total of designated product sampling items by the vendor’s proposed commission percentage, with the County reserving the right to award in its best interest regardless of commission amount. The contract term begins upon award or after the current contract expires, and may be renewed for up to four additional one-year periods at the County’s discretion, with the vendor’s consent. The vendor is obligated to adhere to stringent compliance standards including Texas statutes that prohibit business with Iran or Sudan, forbid discrimination against firearm entities, and prohibit energy company boycotts for contracts over $100,000 with ten or more employees. All services must ensure a drug-free workplace, conform to the highest standards of manufacturing and engineering, and comply with ADA requirements. Merchandise must be new, unused, in first-class condition, of current manufacture, and subject to County inspection and approval at all times, with rejected items immediately removed and permanently barred from resale. The vendor must carry Commercial General Liability, Commercial Automobile Liability, and Workers’ Compensation insurance with a minimum A-VII Best Rating, naming Collin County as an additional insured, and provide payment and performance bonds if contract value exceeds $25,000 and $100,000 respectively. All invoices must reference a County-issued purchase order and be mailed to the Auditor’s Office in McKinney, with payment processed by the same office. The vendor is solely responsible for timely payment to any subcontractors, and failure to do so may result in the County withholding funds. Vendors must submit a completed W-9 and Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, certify they are not debarred, and affirm that all employees are legally eligible to work in the U.S. under the Immigration Reform Act of 1986. Bids must be submitted electronically through the OpenGov
