About this file
This is a Solicitation Addendum Acknowledgement Form (Addendum #2) issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), Procurement and Contracting Services division, for solicitation HHS0016249 titled "Advanced Funds Disbursement." The solicitation due date and time is April 2, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Addendum #2 was issued on March 18, 2026 and addresses vendor questions and answers posted in accordance with solicitation section 6.7. Respondents are required to sign and return this addendum acknowledgment with their bid response; failure to do so may result in disqualification. Respondents who submitted responses prior to the addendum issuance may email the signed acknowledgment to pcsbids@hhs.Texas.gov prior to the solicitation due date and time.

The addendum includes a question and answer section addressing alternative payment disbursement methods for the Advanced Funds Disbursement program. In response to an inquiry about alternative payment methods such as prepaid debit cards, HHSC indicated that bidders may propose alternative payment disbursement methods provided they meet specific criteria: the method must be administratively efficient, cost-effective, include safeguards to mitigate fraud, waste, and abuse, and be convenient for clients or their responsible adults to receive and use. No pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding amounts are specified in this addendum document.
