The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is seeking competitive bids for HVAC/Boiler maintenance services and water chemical treatment at the Texas Center for Infectious Disease located in San Antonio, Bexar County. This formal Invitation for Bid (IFB No. #HHS0016318) solicits comprehensive maintenance services including preventative maintenance, service repairs, emergency repairs, and water chemical treatment. Bidders must have a minimum of five years of relevant experience, maintain specific water treatment certifications, and provide three verifiable references. Two mandatory on-site visits are scheduled for June 26 and June 30, 2025, at 9:30 AM, with bid responses due by July 11, 2025, at 10:30 AM. The contract will utilize a best value evaluation method, considering the bidder's ability to meet requirements, performance delivery capabilities, and price. The initial contract term is set from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2028, with no renewal options, though HHSC reserves the right to extend the term for up to one year to ensure service continuity.

The procurement allows both HHSC and the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to utilize the resulting contract, which will be administered by HHSC's Procurement and Contracting Services division. Bidders must comply with extensive insurance requirements, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, professional liability, and umbrella liability insurance. The pricing structure mandates firm, fixed prices for the entire contract duration, to be submitted on the Pricing Sheet in Exhibit C. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, the comprehensive insurance and experience requirements suggest a preference for established, financially stable contractors. The solicitation does not specify a precise budget range or award value, but the three-year contract term and detailed service requirements indicate a significant scope of work for a specialized HVAC and water treatment contract at a state healthcare facility.
