About this file
This exhibit document provides instructions for submitting bids and proposals to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for RFP No. HHS0016822 through the optional HHS Online Bid Room system. The solicitation seeks financial analysis and compliance review services for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, including comprehensive financial reporting analysis, interagency coordination assessment, and development of training programs. The pre-proposal conference is scheduled for April 22, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time, with a proposal submission deadline of May 15, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. Central Time. The anticipated notice of award is in June 2026, with a contract start date in August 2026. The initial contract term is one year, with HHSC holding the option to extend for up to one additional year and potentially one more option period for immediate operational needs.
Bids and responses may be submitted electronically through the HHS Online Bid Room or by alternative methods identified in the solicitation package. All external users must complete a multi-step registration process through IAMOnline, which may take several days; applicants with previous Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline access must register with a different email address as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses. The solicitation package specifies the required form and method of delivery, and failure to adhere to these requirements may result in disqualification. The total compensation under any resulting contract shall not exceed $1,000,000, though HHSC reserves the right to increase this amount if additional state or federal funding becomes available. Payment will be made within 30 days of receipt of correct invoices following satisfactory service delivery, in accordance with the Texas Prompt Payment Act. Late submissions will not be accepted, and technical difficulties with the optional online bid room shall not be sufficient basis for protest of a contract award.
