Description

Houston Independent School District is requesting proposals from qualified vendors to provide pet supplies, aquarium maintenance services, and related goods and services. The solicitation establishes an approved-vendor process that may result in awards to one or more vendors. Vendors previously awarded under RFP 21-12-01 must submit new proposals to be considered because this solicitation replaces that contract. Evaluation includes compliance with the district's liability insurance requirements and Minority/Women Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) Program requirements. The tentative contract term is November 13, 2026, through November 12, 2027, with two automatic annual renewals, not to extend beyond November 12, 2029. Proposals must include the official proposal and required vendor forms and attachments, including execution, HUB participation, reference surveys, insurance, tax, conflict-of-interest, criminal-history, background-certification, questionnaire, and applicable student-data or service-provider forms. The solicitation requires electronic submission through the bidding portal by September 30, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time.
