WorkQuest has been awarded a contract modification adding $185,414.40 to Purchase Order 0000387070 by the State of Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSTX) effective March 19, 2026. This procurement is statutorily exempt from competitive bidding requirements under Texas Government Code Section 2155.138 and is mandated to be procured through WorkQuest (Texas Integrated Benefits Healthcare). The contract encompasses temporary staffing services across multiple functional categories, including clerical and administrative assistance, technician support, medical personnel, information technology networking specialists, and warehouse staff.

The services fall within the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) classification 96269 for temporary personnel services and span five Uniform National Standard Products and Services Classification (UNSPSC) codes. The specific scope covers temporary labor solutions addressing clerical, technical, medical, IT networking, and warehouse operational needs. While the exact cumulative contract value and period of performance are not specified in the available documentation, the modification amount represents a significant increase to the existing purchase order, reflecting the State's ongoing reliance on WorkQuest as the designated temporary staffing provider for Health and Human Services functions.
