This addendum document is issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Procurement and Contracting Services division in response to questions submitted regarding Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. HHS0017083v3 for Hewlett Packard Enterprise Non-Stop Itanium Self-Storage Disk Drives. Addendum No. 1, dated May 1, 2026, provides clarifications to vendor inquiries and becomes an integral part of the original solicitation. The addendum addresses a vendor question regarding the specific equipment specifications for the disk drives being procured. In response, HHSC clarified that the HPE part number for the self-storage disk drives is MSCSS-400, and identified the applicable server model numbers as NB56000 and NB54000, with corresponding disk enclosure model numbers MSC82-25 and M8381-25. The solicitation due date and time remains May 7, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. Central Time. Respondents must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signing and returning the acknowledgment form with their bid response, or if the response was submitted prior to the addendum, vendors may email the signed acknowledgment to pcsbids@hhs.texas.gov prior to the solicitation deadline.
This addendum serves as a critical clarification document that vendors must incorporate into their bid preparations. The PCS Contact for questions is Steve Ruiz at steve.ruiz@hhs.texas.gov or 512-776-2106. Failure to acknowledge receipt of this addendum may result in disqualification of the bid response.
