About this file
This is an Information Security and Privacy Requirements exhibit for a Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) contract opportunity (RFP No. HHS0016867). The document establishes the mandatory security and compliance framework that contractors must implement and maintain throughout their business relationship with Texas HHS. Contractors are required to adhere to a comprehensive set of information security controls and standards based on the data types accessed, created, disclosed, received, transmitted, maintained, or stored within the contract's information systems. The document does not specify product or service deliverables, project timelines, response dates, site visits, or award dates, as it functions as a technical requirements exhibit rather than a procurement overview document.
The exhibit mandates contractor compliance with Texas HHS security baselines equivalent to NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5, along with Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) overlays and the Texas Risk and Authorization Management Program (TX-RAMP). Contractors must implement a minimum of 238 specific Information Security and Privacy controls covering access control, account management, audit and accountability, identification and authentication, incident response, system and communications protection, and supply chain risk management, among other domains. The document requires contractors to implement the most restrictive requirements when multiple applicable standards mandate the same control and to implement any additional controls added in subsequent updates to applicable standards and regulations. Contractors are responsible for fulfilling ongoing HHS monitoring requirements for continuing compliance as outlined in the Information Security Risk Management Policy, with no documented exceptions for Texas HHS assuming control responsibility noted in this exhibit.
