Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a master agreement is to establish firm pricing for goods, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spent under this agreement.
This master agreement will provide for the purchase of animal control and animal shelter related supplies for the Department of Dallas Animal Services (DAS). DAS is responsible for the care, shelter, and field management of animals within the city. To support these core operations, both the shelter and field services teams require a consistent supply of specialized tools, equipment, and materials. These supplies are essential to maintain animal care standards, ensure staff safety, and support effective field response and shelter operations.
As part of the solicitation process and in an effort to increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services used its procurement system to send out email notifications to vendors registered under relevant commodity codes. To further increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services uses historical solicitation information, the Internet, and vendor contact information obtained from user departments to contact additional vendors.
