The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB No. HHS0016313) for an ActiveBatch Software Support Subscription License, seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive software support for an enterprise job scheduler tool used across multiple system platforms. The procurement covers various license types including ActiveBatch Job Scheduler On Premise, Non-Production On Premise Scheduler, Standby Job Scheduler, Executive Agent Pack, Informatica PowerCenter Job Steps Extension, Non Cluster Fail Over Add In, SAP Business Objects Data Services Job Steps Extension, and ActiveBatch Training Academy with Unlimited Access. The initial contract term will run from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, with potential two one-year renewals extending through August 31, 2028. Bids are due by July 14, 2025, at 10:30 AM, and the award will be made based on best value to the State of Texas, considering the bidder's ability to meet requirements, performance delivery, and pricing. Pricing must be firm and fixed for the entire contract term, submitted using the provided Pricing Sheet, and include all associated labor, equipment, materials, and related expenses.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the historical spend for similar services is $61,492.16 for one year. The contract appears to be open to qualified vendors capable of providing the specified ActiveBatch software support subscription licenses and meeting the state's technical and performance requirements. The procurement involves software licensing and support for critical enterprise job scheduling infrastructure, suggesting that respondents must demonstrate technical expertise in job scheduling systems, particularly with platforms like Informatica, Data Services, and Business Objects. The potential total contract value could range from approximately $61,000 to $123,000 for the initial two-year period, depending on potential renewals and any negotiated terms. Vendors will need to provide comprehensive software support, training access, and demonstrate the capability to integrate with existing technological ecosystems used by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
