This is Addendum No. 1 to Request for Proposals No. 908-26-1778WS issued by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company for custody and liquidity services supporting the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The addendum extends the proposal submission deadline from June 15, 2026, to July 10, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. The revised schedule reflects a written questions deadline of May 22, 2026, with official responses posted by June 22, 2026. Top-scoring respondents will participate in presentations on a date to be determined, followed by contract execution and work commencement no later than 60 days thereafter. The initial contract term extends through August 31, 2029, with three optional one-year renewal periods available.

Respondents must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signing and returning the acknowledgement form with their proposal submissions. The addendum does not modify pricing terms, qualification requirements, evaluation criteria, or other substantive provisions of the original RFP, which employs a best value standard weighted at 40% for respondent qualifications and experience, 40% for narrative and preliminary work plan, and 20% for proposed costs using a flat annual fee model. The procurement intends to award contracts to both a primary and secondary service provider for redundancy purposes, with all vendors required to complete and submit a State of Texas Subcontracting Plan demonstrating good faith efforts to engage VetHUB-certified subcontractors.
