Exhibit C: Health and Human Services Additional Provisions
This document is an exhibit to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Request for Proposals (RFP No. HHS0015252) that establishes additional contractual provisions applicable to vendors providing services to HHSC. The exhibit outlines seven primary provisions governing contractor obligations and rights under HHSC contracts. Key provisions include requirements for vendor access allowing other potential HHSC solicitation respondents to inspect contractor work and facilities during normal business hours; a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free trademark license permitting contractors to reproduce HHSC trademarks on published materials related to contract performance, conditional upon compliance with quality standards and HHSC specifications; and acknowledgment of HHSC's exclusive ownership of all trademarks. Additionally, contractors must provide written notification to their assigned HHSC contract manager at least ten calendar days prior to implementing any discount on final contract costs, at which time HHSC will issue a revised purchase order reflecting the change.
The exhibit further specifies that all electrical items supplied under HHSC contracts must comply with applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and bear appropriate listings from Underwriters Laboratory (UL), Factory Mutual Resource Corporation (FMRC), or National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). Contractors are required to immediately report in writing to their assigned HHSC contract manager any criminal activity or disciplinary actions involving the contractor, persons with ownership or controlling interest, or any agents, employees, subcontractors, or volunteers performing services under the contract, including activities constituting Class A misdemeanors or greater offenses or disciplinary grounds by state or federal regulatory authorities. Contractors must also prohibit any individuals engaged in such activities from performing direct client services or having direct client contact unless otherwise directed in writing by the System Agency. Finally, contractors must notify their assigned HHSC contract manager within five days of becoming aware of any insolvency, incapacity, or outstanding unpaid obligations owed to the Internal Revenue Service or the State of Texas.
