This is Addendum 2 to an Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 3202600146 issued by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) for rehabilitation supplies serving vocational rehabilitation customers. The addendum, issued May 19, 2026, addresses bidder questions and clarifications regarding the solicitation.

Key procurement dates include a Pre-Solicitation Conference on April 29, 2026, written questions due April 29, 2026, at 5:00 PM Central Time, and bids due June 3, 2026, by 10:00 AM Central Time.
