HHS0017729 Miscellaneous, parts supplies

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is requesting bids for miscellaneous maintenance and campus parts supplies and equipment on behalf of the Denton State Supported Living Center, with bids due September 14, 2026, at 10:30 AM Central Time under IFB HHS0017729. The questions and clarifications deadline has passed (August 26, 2026).

The scope comprises 18 line items including carport canopy kits, emergency ponchos, sound machines, wireless doorbells, baby-proofing edge protectors, basketball backboards, utility carts, solar lighters, basketballs, golf cart enclosures, lockable stools, eyewash stations, LED panel lights, digital thermometers, ratchet straps, fuses, corner guards, and shelf liners. Bidders must submit unit pricing for each specified item or approved equals on Exhibit C with total shipping costs included. Pricing must be firm and fixed. The historical monetary value for the same or similar goods over the 12-month period ending August 31, 2026, was $100,000.00, provided as a guideline only and not a volume guarantee.

The initial contract term runs September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with an option for HHSC to extend for up to one additional year at its sole discretion. The anticipated start date is October 1, 2026. Both HHSC and the Department of State Health Services are entitled to use any resulting contract.

Completion and submission of Exhibit A (HHS Solicitation Affirmations) and Exhibit C (Pricing Sheet) are mandatory; failure to submit results in disqualification. Evaluation is based on meeting or exceeding specifications, ability to meet delivery requirements, and price, with HHSC making award determinations on best value rather than lowest price alone. Bids may be submitted in person at 1100 W. 49th Street, Austin, Texas, or through the optional HHS Online Bid Room. Delivery must occur between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM (excluding 11:00 AM to noon) with scheduled appointments required.
