This is an Exhibit A document containing HHS Solicitation Affirmations for a Texas state and local contract opportunity, version 2.10 dated March 2026. The document outlines mandatory affirmations and certifications that vendors must acknowledge and comply with when responding to Health and Human Services solicitations. The affirmations address compliance requirements across multiple operational areas including civil rights, accessibility standards, privacy protections, and regulatory adherence. Vendors are required to confirm their understanding and acceptance of these conditions as a prerequisite for bid submission. The document serves as a standardized compliance framework applicable to HHS procurements in Texas.

The affirmations encompass certifications related to non-discrimination policies, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements, and state-specific regulatory obligations. Bidders must attest to their ability to meet accessibility standards, maintain confidentiality of protected health information, comply with equal employment opportunity requirements, and adhere to any applicable set-aside provisions. This document functions as a mandatory acknowledgment form that establishes the baseline compliance expectations for all HHS contract bidders and is typically included as part of the formal solicitation package to ensure vendors understand and accept their obligations before contract award.
