About this file
This is an exhibit document detailing online bid room submission procedures for a Request for Offer (RFO No. HHS0016376) issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS) for Child Protective Post Adoption Services. The solicitation seeks comprehensive post-adoption services including case management, counseling, mental health services, parenting intervention, support groups, and residential treatment for children across all eleven DFPS administrative regions. Contractors may propose for one or multiple service areas and must demonstrate at least one year of recent business operations and proven experience in post-adoption services. A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for January 6, 2026, at 1:00 PM Central Time, with questions due by January 8, 2026, at 10:30 AM, and proposal submissions due by January 29, 2026, at 10:30 AM Central Time. The anticipated notice of award is scheduled for April 2026, with a contract start date of September 2026, and an initial four-year contract term with potential one-year renewal options.
The contract will be awarded on a cost-reimbursement basis with no guaranteed volume or compensation, contingent upon legislative appropriations. Historical annual compensation for similar contracts has been approximately $5,946,840, with regional allocations ranging from $177,000 to $1,189,140 per fiscal year, and up to $1.2 million per fiscal year in additional funding may become available pending legislative action during the FY 26-27 Biennium. The document addresses the optional HHS Online Bid Room submission method, requiring external users to register through IAMOnline, and notes that the registration process may take several days, with activation links remaining valid for seven days. Evaluation criteria allocate 30 percent to qualifications and experience, 50 percent to the project work plan, and 20 percent to cost proposal, with emphasis on culturally competent service delivery and Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) subcontracting plans.
