About this file
This document is an exhibit providing instructions for submitting bids electronically through the HHS Online Bid Room for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Request for Proposals No. HHS0016728 for Music Therapy Services for the Blind Children's Vocational Discovery and Development Program (BCVDDP). The solicitation seeks to procure music therapy services for blind and visually impaired individuals ages birth to 22 across four regional service areas in Texas, with four separate contracts to be awarded to qualified Texas-based contractors. Respondents must employ Board-Certified Music Therapists and demonstrate at least two years of experience providing music therapy to blind and visually impaired populations. The pre-proposal conference was held on March 20, 2026, with a question deadline of March 23, 2026, and clarification responses scheduled for posting by April 3, 2026. Proposal responses are due on April 17, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. Central Time, with award notification anticipated in August 2026 and a contract start date of September 1, 2026. The initial contract term is two years with options for HHSC to extend for up to three additional years plus one additional year for immediate operational needs.
The document provides procedural guidance for accessing the HHS Online Bid Room through the IAMOnline portal, requiring external users to request accounts using email addresses and allowing seven days to activate accounts after approval. Use of the online bid room is optional, and applicants must allow several days for registration processing to meet submission deadlines. The document emphasizes that late responses are not accepted and that technical difficulties with the optional online submission method do not constitute grounds for protesting a contract award. Additional support is available through the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Central Time. Historical compensation has ranged from approximately $40,000 per fiscal year, with pricing proposals required in Excel format including all service delivery costs and travel expenses in accordance with Texas Comptroller travel rates.
