This is a Cost Proposal Exhibit C for Solicitation #5510000630 issued by the State of Texas for Background Check Services. The solicitation requests two primary deliverables: Background Check Services at 780 units and Additional Name or "aka" Search services at 192 units. The cost proposal template is structured to accommodate pricing across four contract years, with Year 1 as the base term and Years 2 through 4 as optional renewal periods. The document was released on February 15, 2024, with a revision date of October 22, 2025.

The cost proposal exhibits a total cost proposal of $0.00 across all four years, indicating that the pricing section remains incomplete or unfilled in the submitted document. The proposal structure includes provisions for line-item pricing, cumulative subtotals by year, discount offerings with detailed discount calculations, and annual total costs. Bidders are required to detail costs for each service category (Background Check Services and Additional Name or "aka" Search) and may offer additional discounts, with all costs rolled into per-year totals that aggregate into the overall proposal value. The absence of completed pricing data suggests this may be a template example or a proposal that requires pricing completion prior to final submission.
