About this opportunity
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and Department of State Health Services (DSHS) are soliciting bids for a candy and beverage procurement for Big Spring State Hospital through Informal Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. HHS0016531. The procurement covers approximately 50 different food and beverage items, including various candy brands (Laffy Taffy, Skittles, Reese's Cups), bakery items, and beverages like Dr. Pepper and Gold Peak tea. The contract will cover the fiscal year from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, with potential for renewal. Bidders must submit firm, fixed prices using the provided Pricing Sheet, with HHSC evaluating responses based on meeting specifications, performance delivery requirements, and overall value to the state. Key dates include a question submission deadline of August 1, 2025, and final bid responses due by August 12, 2025, at 10:30 AM. Vendors will be assessed on their ability to provide comprehensive product offerings, meet delivery requirements, and comply with all solicitation terms and conditions.
The procurement includes opportunities for Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) participants, with provisions for Texas-based businesses to claim various state procurement preferences. Potential bidders can qualify for preferences including Texas-based businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned enterprises, and vendors offering products with specific environmental or social considerations such as recycled materials or energy-efficient items. While a HUB Subcontracting Plan is not mandatory, it may provide additional competitive advantage. The historical spend for similar goods is approximately $56,000 for the previous fiscal year, though HHSC does not guarantee specific purchase volumes. Potential bidders must complete comprehensive legal affirmations, including disclosures about business practices, compliance with state regulations, and certification of business ethics. The contract allows for potential one-year extensions at HHSC's discretion, with price adjustments considered on a case-by-case basis potentially using Consumer Price Index (CPI) metrics.
