The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB No. HHS0016514v2) for dental supplies and services specifically for the Mexia State Supported Living Center, located in Lampasas County. The procurement seeks comprehensive dental consumables, equipment supplies, and repair services, with a focus on items such as Sprint Ray 3D Printer supplies, design credits, specialty resins, dental equipment, and related medical consumables. Key deliverables include dental materials like ceramic crown resin, night guard flex resin, IRM packages, protective equipment, and various dental supplies including lidocaine, sterilization pouches, gloves, masks, saliva ejectors, and disinfectant towelettes. The solicitation requires vendors to submit detailed pricing using Exhibit C Price Sheet, with firm, fixed prices valid for the contract duration. Evaluation criteria will emphasize best value to the State of Texas, considering factors such as specification compliance, performance capabilities, and pricing. The solicitation was posted on September 15, 2025, with responses due by September 30, 2025, at 10:30 am CST, and the initial contract term will run from the award date through August 31, 2026, with potential one-year extension options.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrict responses to specific enterprise types. Vendors must complete and submit both Exhibit A HHS Solicitation Affirmations and Exhibit C Pricing Sheet, with failure to do so resulting in bid disqualification. The historical spend for similar goods and services is approximately $35,000 for fiscal year 2025, though this does not guarantee future purchase volumes. Vendors must provide shipping within two days of order and offer free returns for unused/unopened items. All dental equipment services must include a minimum 90-day warranty for parts and labor. The solicitation requires vendors to affirm compliance with numerous state and federal regulations, including cybersecurity training, anti-discrimination provisions, and specific restrictions on international business dealings. Contractors must also certify they are not suspended or debarred and have no felony convictions. The contract allows for potential termination if false representations are made or specified conditions are not met.
