GPO Program Applications

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Procurement and Contracting Services (PCS) is soliciting new Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) to become HHSC-approved GPO suppliers. This contract opportunity covers the procurement of GPO services for HHSC and the local government jurisdictions of Travis County and the City of Austin. The GPO application requires information on the applicant's organization profile, portfolio of contracts, procurement processes, award criteria, contract management, and policies for engaging historically underutilized businesses (HUBs). Completed applications must be submitted by October 18, 2023, and will be evaluated based on the GPO's established organization, transparent and competitive procurement, best value evaluation, contract management, and HUB policies. The GPO Program aims to identify qualified and capable GPO suppliers to provide competitively awarded contracts to Texas state and local entities.

The solicitation does not provide any details on pricing terms, set-asides, or contract amounts. It also does not include information about incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The available documentation focuses solely on the application and evaluation process for GPOs to become HHSC-approved, without specifying any award values or budget ranges.
