About this opportunity
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is requesting bids on frozen food and canteen supplies for Rusk State Hospital under IFB HHS0017803, with responses due August 10, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time. No HUB Subcontracting Plan is required.
The scope comprises seven frozen food items: Link Hot pork and beef products, croissant sausage egg and cheese sandwiches, Hot Pocket pepperoni pizza, jumbo corn dogs, and three condiment pouches (jelly, mayonnaise, mustard). Products are classified under NIGP Class/Item numbers 375/54, 390/05, and 393/00, 06, 48, 56, and 59. Pack sizes range from 12 to 200 units depending on the item; annual quantities are estimated at one case per item, though historical spend for September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026 was $75,000 (provided as a guideline only, not a guarantee). Delivery must occur on-time between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. (excluding 11:00 a.m. to noon) with standard delivery seven days after order receipt. Vendors are responsible for all costs including freight (F.O.B. destination, prepaid), unloading, storage, and handling. Pricing must be firm and fixed for the contract life with all costs inclusive of labor, equipment, and materials. Early payment discounts are optional.
The initial contract term runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with one optional one-year extension available at HHSC's sole discretion subject to funding availability. Both HHSC and the Department of State Health Services may use any resulting contract. Evaluation factors are bidder ability to meet specifications and delivery requirements, past vendor performance, financial capability, and price. HHSC reserves the right to make single or multiple awards based on best value rather than lowest price. Price adjustments are not automatic and may only be permitted at HHSC's discretion using Consumer Price Index formulas. Questions are due July 31, 2026; responses to clarifications were posted as an addendum August 4. Responses must include completed Exhibit A (HHS Solicitation Affirmations) and Exhibit C (Pricing Sheet) and may be submitted via email to pcsbids@hhs.texas.gov, through the HHS Online Bid Room, or via USB drive delivery.
