This file contains a standard outsourcing agreement template from the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) dated June 22, 2021, applicable to state and local contract opportunities within Texas. The agreement establishes the foundational contractual framework and terms governing the relationship between DFPS and external service providers or vendors. While specific to the Document Shredding and Disposal Services requirement for HHSC Region 03, this standardized agreement document outlines the general conditions, obligations, and performance expectations that would apply to vendors selected to provide services to DFPS and related state health and human services agencies in Texas.

The standard agreement template addresses key contractual provisions including insurance requirements, indemnification obligations, compliance with state and federal regulations, confidentiality and data protection protocols, performance standards, and termination provisions. The document serves as the baseline contract instrument that would be customized with specific service requirements, pricing terms, performance metrics, and term conditions based on individual solicitations. This template ensures consistency across DFPS outsourcing arrangements and establishes uniform expectations regarding vendor conduct, liability management, and adherence to state procurement and operational standards.
