The University of Texas at San Antonio (UT San Antonio) is issuing an Indefinite‑Delivery‑Indefinite‑Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide comprehensive natural‑gas system testing and as‑needed repair services across its entire campus network, with the possibility of extending the work to other UT System campuses. The contractor must perform annual pressure testing, leak detection, and repair of gas pipelines, boilers, generators, water heaters, CNG stations, and related equipment in dozens of campus buildings, adhering to Texas Fire Marshal, NFPA 54, International Fuel Gas Code, and other state and federal regulations. All field personnel must be Texas‑licensed Master Plumbers, and the contractor must submit extensive documentation, HUB compliance plans, and pricing workbooks. The contract term runs for four years (Sept 1 2026 – Aug 31 2030) and may be leveraged by other UT System institutions, so bidders should propose pricing models that accommodate higher volumes.
