Boiler Maintenance Services at Abilene SSLC

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is seeking competitive bids through an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to establish a contract(s) for boiler maintenance services at the Abilene State Supported Living Center located in Taylor County. The required services include installation, troubleshooting, adjustment, repairs, and replacement parts for the four boilers on the campus. The contract term will be for three years with no renewal options, and the anticipated start date is September 1, 2024. Interested bidders must submit their responses by August 27, 2024, and an optional on-site visit is scheduled for August 16, 2024. HHSC will evaluate the bids based on the ability to meet the requirements, performance delivery, and price, with the contract awarded to the bidder(s) providing the best value to the state.

The IFB does not have any HUB subcontracting plan requirements, but the agency encourages the use of historically underutilized businesses. The current incumbent provider is not specified, and the solicitation does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The total estimated value of the contract(s) is also not provided in the documents. Funding for the boiler maintenance services will be through HHSC's budget, though the exact source and amount are not detailed.
