About this file
This document contains responses to Proposers' questions regarding the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan (HSP) for the Texas Lottery Commission's Request for Proposals (RFP) for Lottery Products Testing Services #362-2024-0002. The RFP seeks proposals from qualified Proposers to perform testing and evaluation services to ensure the security, integrity, and "playability" of Texas Lottery products, including Scratch Ticket games, Draw Game Paper Stock, and other lottery products. The Texas Lottery anticipates an average of 85 to 95 standard Scratch Ticket games to be produced annually during the contract term, although not all games will be submitted for testing under the resulting contract. Proposers are required to use one of the specified HSP methods, such as using 100% HUB subcontractors or performing good faith effort outreach, if they intend to subcontract any portion of the work. Proposals are due on March 25, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. Central Time.
The RFP also provides details on the Texas Lottery's current lottery products and sales terminals, as well as the potential for the Successful Proposer to test other lottery products or conduct miscellaneous testing services as requested by the agency or its Scratch Ticket manufacturers. The Texas Lottery will not relinquish control over lottery operations, and the Successful Proposer will function under the agency's supervision and oversight.
