About this file
This document is a Solicitation Affirmations exhibit for HHS Solicitation Number HHS0017596, issued by the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and the Department of State Health Services (DSHS). The affirmations establish the foundational certifications and representations required from all respondents participating in this procurement, regardless of business structure. The document does not specify particular products or services, quantities, response deadlines, site visits, bidders' conferences, award dates, or contract terms, as it serves as a general framework of required attestations applicable across HHS solicitations.
The affirmations require respondents to certify that all information provided is current, complete, and accurate; that all certifications, representations, and warranties apply to the respondent and all principals, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, owners, agents, employees, and subcontractors involved in the solicitation or resulting contract. Respondents must acknowledge compliance with the Texas Public Information Act and provide information in accessible public formats at no additional cost to the State. The document further requires respondents to comply with Section 552.372(a) of the Texas Government Code regarding contracting information requirements, with contract termination as a potential consequence for knowing or intentional non-compliance. Respondents must specifically identify any information claimed as confidential or proprietary, with the understanding that extensive designation of confidential material may result in solicitation response disqualification.

To the extent applicable for DFPS solicitations, the definition of System Agency includes DFPS.
