This document is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), on behalf of the Department of State Health Services (DSHS), seeking a qualified vendor to develop a statewide iteration of an existing National Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Prevention Social Marketing and Community Engagement Campaign. The campaign must be designed to reach populations in Texas at increased risk for HIV. The initial contract term is two years, with HHSC or DSHS having the option to extend the contract for up to three additional one-year terms. The RFP outlines the scope of work, which focuses on reducing the number of Texans living with undiagnosed HIV infections and increasing access to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis and treatment services. The RFP provides a schedule of events, including an optional pre-proposal conference, deadlines for submitting questions and proposals, and the anticipated contract start date of September 1, 2024.

The RFP does not include specific pricing terms, set-asides, or information about incumbent vendors. The funding for this project will come from state resources, and the RFP mentions the availability of funds as a factor in the potential contract extensions.
