The solicitation documents do not identify specific set-asides or restrictions on organization types eligible to respond, though all respondents must complete and submit a Texas Family Code Schedule certifying compliance with child support obligation requirements under Texas Family Code Section 231.006, with failure to do so rendering the response non-responsive and ineligible for consideration. The schedule requires disclosure of names and Social Security numbers for any individual or business entity holding at least twenty-five percent ownership interest in the responding entity, with this information used to identify persons who may owe child support obligations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents, and no existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements are specified. The solicitation does not provide an explicit budget range or award value; however, respondents must furnish a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin and pass acceptance inspection and performance testing within five working days of delivery. All necessary submission documents, including the signed Invitation for Bid, Texas Family Code Schedule, Data Sheet Schedule, and applicable addenda, must be submitted as separate documents via the specified email address prior to the deadline.
