Bidders must submit pricing for each garment style and size combination with shipping costs prorated into the unit price and must bid a minimum of 100 percent of specified items or face disqualification. All deliveries are firm and fixed and must be made to a single location at 6515 Kemp Boulevard, Wichita Falls, Texas 76308 during specified windows: 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Vendors are responsible for all delivery costs, carton and pallet labeling, proper packaging, and compliance verification. All rejected or non-compliant products must be returned at vendor expense plus storage, handling, and pickup costs.

The historical monetary value for similar goods during FY 2025 ranged from $80,000 to $150,000, provided as a guideline only with no guarantee of volume or compensation. The contract runs from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with one optional one-year extension available at HHSC's discretion. Pricing must remain firm and fixed for the contract life, though annual price adjustments may be permitted using the Consumer Price Index formula or based on federal minimum wage increases, subject to HHSC approval and supporting documentation.
