About this file
This is a Solicitation Addendum Acknowledgement Form (PCS 121) issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS), Procurement and Contracting Services division, dated March 17, 2026, with a solicitation due date of March 25, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. The addendum addresses five clarification questions regarding equipment specifications for what appears to be analytical laboratory instrumentation, specifically addressing whether a NIST MS library, separation column, recirculation bath, sample heater jacket assembly, and training should be included in vendor proposals. The responses clarify that the new equipment must be capable of operation using existing Agilent Mass Hunter and NIST software, no columns are required, no recirculation bath is needed, no sample heater is required, and only Installation/Introduction training as listed in Line Items 1, 2, and 3 of Exhibit C should be included. Vendors must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signing and returning it with their solicitation response or, if previously submitted, emailing the signed acknowledgement to pcsbids@hhsc.state.tx.us prior to the due date and time.
Failure to return the addendum acknowledgement form as instructed may result in disqualification of the response. This addendum becomes an integral part of the original solicitation and supersedes any conflicting provisions in the original request. The primary contact for this solicitation is Gustavo Chamorro at Gustavo.Chamorro@hhs.texas.gov or 512-406-2630.

| TextField32: 1) No NIST MS library was requested in the specifications. Should a NIST library be included in the offer? |
Response: The new equipment must be capable of operation and data analysis using existing Agilent Mass Hunter and NIST software.
2) No separation column was requested in the specifications. Should a suitable column be included in the offer?
Response: No columns required.
3) No recirculation bath was requested for the Tekmar Atomx P&T in the specifications. Does one already exist onsite? We are noting this due to the chiller request in the solicitation. Should it be included in the offer.
Response: No. This was not included (missed) in the original request.
4) When the optional Vial Chiller Plate is used to hold sample vials at temperatures down to 4 °C prior to analysis, the optional Sample Heater Jacket Assembly for the sparger must be enabled to heat the sample to the method-defined purge temperature during Purge Mode. Therefore, when utilizing the chilling feature, the sample heater is required to bring samples and standards to the appropriate purge temperature in the sparger as defined in the method parameters. Should a sample heater be added to this bid?
Response: No. This was not included (missed) in the request.
5) No training was requested in the specifications. Should training be included in the offer?
Response: Installation / Introduction (44K and 44L) as listed for Line Items 1, 2 and 3 in exhibit C, should be included.
