The addendum revises Exhibit E to reflect an updated deadline for submission of the Vendor Reference Form to Texas Cyber Command no later than May 21, 2026. The original Request for Offer, issued April 29, 2026, seeks a turnkey managed solution for Sovereign Terrain and Digital Border Defense services with proposals due May 14, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. CST.

Evaluation of proposals will employ Pass/Fail assessments for financial information, HUB Subcontracting Plan completion, vendor performance tracking scores, and accessibility compliance, followed by weighted scoring across Technical Requirements (40 percent), Vendor Qualifications (30 percent), and Pricing (30 percent). Vendors must submit completed Vendor Information and Certifications Forms, maintain 99.9 percent monthly uptime with incident response targets ranging from one hour for critical issues to five business days for low-priority issues, and deploy within TXCC-designated data centers or approved cloud environments.
