The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) are seeking bids for a three-year contract, with two one-year renewal options, to provide custom wheelchair measurement, services, and repair parts for the Rio Grande State Supported Living Center in Cameron County. The selected contractor will be responsible for custom molding of seat and backrest systems, measurement for custom wheelchairs, and repairs and services of wheelchair components. The contract will commence on September 1, 2024, with responses due by August 28, 2024. Pricing must be firm and fixed for the life of the contract, with potential adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index. The evaluation criteria will be based on best value to the state.

The solicitation affirmations indicate the contract may be funded by state appropriations and federal funds, but no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond are provided. The historical monetary value for similar services from September 1, 2022, to August 31, 2023, was $14,990.00, but the agency does not guarantee any minimum volume or compensation to the awarded contractor. The solicitation does not specify any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration.
