This document is an Addendum to a solicitation from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) on behalf of the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) for Regional Licensed Personal Protection or Licensed Security Officer Services. The solicitation seeks qualified organizations to provide licensed officers to assist DFPS staff who are supervising or transporting youth in DFPS conservatorship without placement. The services may be required at various locations within nine DFPS regions in Texas, and the officers may be required to travel within or outside of the designated regions, including out of state. The initial contract term is one year with up to four one-year renewal options. An optional pre-proposal conference is scheduled for March 11, 2024, and the deadline for submitting responses is April 4, 2024, by 10:30 a.m. Central Time.

The solicitation does not provide specific pricing terms or set-asides. It is seeking to award one or more contracts to provide the requested services to DFPS. The current environment involves a lack of placement options for children and youth, leading to temporary living situations such as hotels and leased facilities. The funding source and amount are not specified in the document.
