About this file
This is a Solicitation Addendum Acknowledgement form issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Procurement and Contracting Services for Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. HHS0017243 regarding covered trash receptacles. The addendum addresses two key questions submitted during the solicitation process: whether alternative shapes and colors are acceptable for the specified trash receptacles, and clarification regarding Buy Texas requirements. The solicitation due date is April 27, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. Central Time, with responses to bidder questions posted on April 17, 2026. Respondents must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signing and returning it with their bid response or by emailing the signed form to pcsbids@hhs.Texas.gov prior to the solicitation deadline. Failure to submit the acknowledgement may result in bid disqualification.
The addendum clarifies that alternative products to those specified may be considered if bidders provide sufficient supporting literature demonstrating equivalency in quality and characteristics; failure to include such documentation may disqualify the response from consideration. The addendum also confirms that the Buy Texas preference under Texas Government Code Section 2155.4441 does not apply to this procurement, as the IFB is for the purchase of products rather than a performing service contract. The contact for PCS is Linda Rodriguez at linda.rodriguez3@hhs.texas.gov or 512-406-2533. Bidders should reference page 11, Section 7.1.1 of the solicitation document for additional guidance on equal product submissions.
