How to bid on Routine Facilities Maintenance Services for University Park, TX
What the agency is buying and why a vendor would care
The City of University Park, Texas, is seeking informal quotes for routine facilities maintenance services for its fiscal year 2026. This includes a range of trades such as plumbing, electrical, HVAC, elevator inspection and repair, painting, general handyman work, roofing, pest control, and overhead door repairs.
This is an opportunity for small businesses in these trades to provide services to the City. The City anticipates that spending for any single trade will not exceed $100,000 per year, making it suitable for vendors who prefer informal quote processes over formal sealed bids.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
Vendors can submit pricing at any time from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The deadline for submitting quotes for fiscal year 2026 is September 30, 2026, at 5:05 PM ET.
After this deadline, the City will close this request and open a new one for fiscal year 2027. Vendors interested in future opportunities will need to resubmit their pricing at that time.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is well-suited for firms specializing in various facilities maintenance trades, including plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, elevator service providers, painters, general handymen, roofers, pest control companies, and overhead door repair services.
It is particularly relevant for small businesses that can handle projects under the $100,000 threshold for formal bids and are comfortable with an informal quote process.
