HHS0014618 Immunization Publication (IMM PUB)

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), on behalf of the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), is seeking proposals for a contract to provide immunization publication services. The selected vendor will be required to provide warehousing, order fulfillment, mailing, and inventory management services for immunization-related materials such as forms, publications, and data loggers. The vendor must provide at least 30,000 cubic feet of climate-controlled warehouse space within 60 miles of DSHS' main offices in Austin, Texas and will be responsible for receiving, storing, and distributing these materials, as well as operating a web-based ordering system and completing special projects and mailings as requested by DSHS. Proposals are due by November 15, 2024, and the anticipated contract start date is September 1, 2025, with an initial two-year term and up to three one-year renewal options.

The RFP does not identify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and it does not name any incumbent vendors or current contractors. However, the RFP indicates that previous similar contracts have ranged around $600,000 per fiscal year, though HHSC and DSHS make no guarantee of volume, usage, or total compensation, and reserve the right to cancel or make a partial award. The vendor must also demonstrate financial solvency, adequate insurance coverage, and compliance with the Texas Risk and Authorization Management Program (TX-RAMP) for cloud-based systems.
