About this file
This is a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement attachment for RFP No. 781-7-CB-35 issued by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) for the Advise TX Hybrid Program: College Advising GRACE Services and Case Management contract opportunity. The document establishes mandatory conflict of interest disclosure requirements for all respondents participating in the procurement process. Respondents must maintain neutrality and impartiality and are required to provide complete disclosure of any relationships or engagements that could constitute a conflict of interest. THECB reserves the sole authority to determine whether a conflict of interest or appearance of conflict exists from the perspective of a reasonable uninvolved party. Entities determined by THECB to have a conflict of interest are ineligible for contract award. Failure to submit either a conflict of interest statement or an affirmation of no conflicts will result in automatic disqualification.
The document requires respondents to demonstrate how they will prevent conflicts arising from their own activities or those of parent, affiliate, or related entities. Additionally, individuals employed by THECB within the past twelve months are prohibited from participating in the contract award, while those employed by THECB or other Texas state agencies between twelve and twenty-four months prior must disclose the nature and end date of that employment in their proposal. The statement includes an unsworn declaration format requiring the authorized respondent representative to affirm under penalty of perjury the accuracy of their conflict of interest disclosure. The document notes that THECB, as a state agency bound by the Texas Constitution, cannot indemnify respondents, and proposals containing indemnification requirements may be deemed nonresponsive.

ATTACHMENT C – CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT
RFP No. 781-7-CB-35
Respondents shall be neutral and impartial and shall not advocate specific positions to THECB. Respondents are encouraged to provide complete disclosure of matters that might be considered a conflict of interest. Completeness of disclosure may be a factor in evaluating proposals. Respondents shall identify the extent, nature, and length of any relationships or engagements that might be considered a conflict of interest. THECB will determine whether a conflict of interest or the perception of a conflict of interest exists from the perspective of a reasonable person uninvolved in the matters covered by the resulting contract. THECB is the sole arbiter of whether a conflict or the appearance of a conflict of interests exists. Entities having a conflict of interest, as determined by THECB, will not be eligible for contract award.
If a Respondent does not have any known or potential conflict of interest, the proposal should include such a statement. Failure to provide either a statement on potential conflicts of interest or a statement that no potential conflicts exist shall automatically disqualify the Respondent.
Respondents must address how they intend to ensure that no interest arising or potentially arising as a result of its activities or those of its parent, affiliate, or other related entity shall conflict with Respondent’s duty should it be selected to provide these services.
THECB may not enter into a contract with a person who has been employed by THECB within the past twelve months. Persons who have been employed by THECB or by another state agency in Texas more than twelve months but fewer than twenty-four months ago shall disclose in the proposal the nature of previous employment with the state agency and the date the employment ended.
NOTE: THECB, as a state agency, is prevented by the Texas Constitution from indemnifying Respondents. Respondents are discouraged from including a term in their Proposal that requires THECB to indemnify them. Such a term may result in the proposal being deemed nonresponsive.
