The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) are issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to establish 2-year blanket contracts, with a 1-year renewal option, for the procurement of a wide variety of frozen food products, including meats, vegetables, baked goods, entrees, desserts, juices, and purees. Bidders must bid on a minimum of 95% of the specified items and will be required to deliver the products to all listed HHSC facilities statewide on a mutually agreed schedule, with the ability to ship backordered items within the same calendar month. The anticipated contract term start date is September 1, 2024. HHSC will evaluate responses based on meeting requirements, delivery capabilities, and price, and reserves the right to make a single award or multiple awards to achieve the best value for the state. The IFB encourages the submission of a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan, although it is not required. The IFB does not provide any information on set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or current contractors. Additionally, the funding sources and award values or budget ranges are not specified in the available documents.
