Frequently purchased items include replacement mattresses, slings, hoses, shower handles, batteries, chargers, and disinfectants. The contractor must respond to all service calls within four hours during regular business hours (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time) and within one hour for emergency requests.

The contract term begins September 1, 2026 and expires August 31, 2027, with no renewal options but a possible one-year extension at HHSC's discretion. Pricing must be submitted using the provided Pricing Sheet (Exhibit C) with firm, fixed prices covering all labor, equipment, materials, supplies, and related expenses.

Questions are due July 17, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., with responses posted by July 21. Award will be made to the bidder offering the best value to the State based on meeting requirements, ability to perform, and pricing, not necessarily the lowest price.
