The State of Texas, through the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), awarded a contract to McKinsey & Company, Inc. (Washington D.C.) for independent assessment and decision support services regarding HHSC's modernization strategy for the Texas Integrated Eligibility Redesign System (TIERS) 2.0. The engagement encompasses evidence-based evaluation of HHSC's proposed approach to the system redesign initiative. The contract was awarded on September 22, 2026, and is classified under NIGP Code 92015 (Assessment and Profiling Services of Software).

TIERS serves as the integrated eligibility determination and maintenance system for multiple state benefit programs, including Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Given that the original system was developed in the late 1990s, the modernization effort addresses the technological and operational requirements necessary to support current and future benefit program administration. Specific contract performance metrics, including contract value, cumulative value, and period of performance, were not provided in the available documentation.
