The contract term runs September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with one optional one-year extension at HHSC's sole discretion. The historical monetary value for the prior contract year (September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026) was $40,000; however, HHSC makes no guarantee of volume or usage. Pricing must be submitted as firm fixed prices on Exhibit C, inclusive of all labor, equipment, materials, supplies, and related expenses.
