About this file
This document is an Addendum issued by the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) for a solicitation (IFB-FY26-RITM1183594-Criteria_HireSelect-TDCJ) for a Criteria HireSelect Essentials Edition Subscription. The solicitation is specifically for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Information Technology Division (ITD), dated August 15, 2025. The implementation timeline is one week, and the agency expects to use 300 assessments in the upcoming year, compared to 260 assessments in the previous year.
The solicitation covers a specific cohort within TDCJ, specifically the Information Technology Division, which has approximately 30,000 total employees. The agency currently does not have an applicant tracking system (ATS) or HRIS system to integrate with the new subscription. The Question and Answer document reveals that the subscription is for a hiring assessment tool, with no existing assessment budget noted. The scope is limited to the ITD division, and the organization anticipates implementing the system quickly with minimal technical complexity.
