4.2.1 Selection Methodology

Solicitation Responses that meet the minimum qualifications will be submitted to the evaluation team for review and scoring. Each member of the evaluation team will receive a copy of each responsive Solicitation Response. The evaluators will review the Solicitation Responses considering the criteria listed in Section

Evaluators will individually score the Solicitation Responses. This procurement will utilize an aggregated individual evaluation. Interviews may/will be used to clarify the written responses.

The following subsections describe the evaluation process, including any criteria for advancement to the various phases of evaluation, if applicable.

6.7 HUB SUBCONTRACTING PLAN

Respondents must submit the HUB Subcontracting Plan in accordance with Section 3.6 (Solicitation Response Submission and Delivery). The HSP should be labeled: “HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP),” and include all supporting documentation in accordance with Exhibit G, Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan (HSP) Requirements.

A courtesy review of a Respondent’s completed HSP is optional and is available upon request to assist in providing a compliant and responsive HSP. This courtesy review may only identify possible deficiencies, but a final compliant determination cannot be provided until the Solicitation Response is submitted.

To request a courtesy review, submit the completed HSP including all supporting documentation in a PDF format by e-mail to the HHSC HUB Program Office by or before the Courtesy Review of HUB Subcontracting Plan Deadline in the Schedule of Events (Section 3.1).

E-mail Subject Line: HSP Courtesy Review, No. HHS0014819

Due Date: See Section 3.1, Schedule of Events

HSPs received after the courtesy review deadline in the Schedule of Events (Section 3.1), will not be processed. A response regarding the HSP will be provided at least eight (8) business days prior to the Solicitation Response deadline in the Schedule of Events (Section 3.1) from the HUB Office, allowing enough time to rectify any potential deficiencies for the final HSP submission.

The final HSP must be submitted with the Solicitation Response by the deadline in the Schedule of Events (Section 3.1). Solicitation Responses that do not include a completed HUB Subcontracting Plan shall be rejected due to material failure to comply with Texas Government Code Section 2161.252(b).
