The Texas government authority is seeking emergency pickup and delivery services for freight and courier transportation between designated locations throughout the state during natural disasters or declared emergencies. The agency is trying to secure reliable transportation logistics to ensure rapid response capabilities when critical situations arise. The scope of work covers dispatching drivers and operating structurally sound, sufficiently powered trucks, truck-tractors, small vans, and companion trailers capable of legally transporting required loads on the state highway system. Bidders must provide a primary point of contact with a telephone and fax number, alongside an emergency contact number answered twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week. The selected contractor must maintain the ability to dispatch drivers twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week, and conduct annual driver license checks on all staff driving to and from work locations. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States, and the performance of the work must occur onsite in Texas. The agency is looking for proposals to establish the budget for these services. Questions regarding this opportunity must be submitted no later than July 9, 2026. The agency will host a pre-bid meeting on July 8, 2026, and bidders may submit their responses digitally via email or through an online portal.
