Library Books

The Socorro Independent School District (SISD) is soliciting proposals to supply library books (hard‑copy and e‑books) on an as‑needed, district‑wide basis. Vendors must provide pricing, inventory data, delivery timelines, and compliance documentation (EDGAR, CIQ, W‑9, TRS Retiree forms, etc.). Evaluation will weight purchase price (35%), quality (25%), fit to district needs (15%), reputation (10%) and other factors. The contract is for an initial two‑year term (Nov 1 2026 – Oct 31 2028) with two optional one‑year extensions, and all bid prices must be firm for the two‑year period. Vendors must meet Texas statutory certifications (SB 12, SB 13, anti‑boycott, critical‑infrastructure, etc.) and provide references from other school districts. Delivery is FOB destination, freight prepaid, with required lead times for first, second, and third shipments. The award will be made to the vendor achieving the best overall value per the published criteria. • Provide hard‑copy and e‑book titles for K‑12 curricula on a “as‑needed” basis. • Submit required certifications, forms, and three district references. • Prices must remain fixed for the two‑year contract period. • Contract includes two one‑year renewal options. • Evaluation emphasizes price, quality, and alignment with district needs. • Must comply with numerous Texas statutes and district policies.
