The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Procurement and Contracting Services division, on behalf of the Corpus Christi State Supported Living Center, is soliciting bids through Invitation for Bids (IFB #HHS0017006) for the procurement of ten units of Moment Sofas (Grade C Fabric) with specific dimensions (80"W x 35"D x 33"H) and one lot of shipping services. The sofas are contract-grade furniture designed for institutional use in supportive housing facilities, featuring fully renewable components, a 25-year warranty, a moisture barrier, and a total unit weight of 122 pounds each. Bidders must submit sealed bids electronically via email to pcsbids@hhs.texas.gov, through the HHS Online Bid Room, or by hand delivery/overnight mail of a USB drive to the HHSC address in Austin by February 20, 2026 at 10:30 AM Central Time. The questions and clarifications deadline is February 12, 2026 at 10:30 AM, with responses to questions posted as an addendum on February 16, 2026 at 10:30 AM. The anticipated contract start date is February 25, 2026, with the contract term commencing upon purchase order issuance and expiring on August 31, 2026, including an optional extension for up to one additional year at HHSC's sole discretion. Evaluation criteria include the bidder's ability to meet requirements and specifications, capacity to meet delivery requirements within 14 days of order receipt, pricing (which must be firm and fixed for the contract life), and past performance history. Bidders must submit completed and signed Exhibit A (HHS Solicitation Affirmations) and Exhibit C (Pricing Sheet) on a F.O.B. Destination Freight Prepaid and Included basis, or provide exact delivery costs separately, with all pricing including labor, equipment, materials, supplies, and related expenses.

No set-asides or restrictions limiting organizational types responding to this procurement are identified in the solicitation documents, though all bidders must comply with extensive certifications and affirmations addressing suspension and debarment status, E-Verify requirements, human trafficking prohibitions, child support obligations, cybersecurity training compliance, and prohibitions on boycotts of Israel and energy companies, among other statutory requirements. Bidders proposing items other than the specified Moment Sofa (Item #57113) must include supporting literature for evaluation, with failure to do so potentially resulting in bid rejection. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or specific budget ranges are identified in the available solicitation documents. Award is contingent upon approval by the HHSC Executive Commissioner and requires submission of a completed and signed TEC Form 1295 (Certificate of Interested Parties) prior to contract execution. The IFB does not guarantee any volume, usage, or compensation, and all contracts are subject to appropriations and fund availability. Both HHSC and the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) are entitled to use any resulting contract, and price adjustments may be permitted only at HHSC's sole discretion and may be correlated with the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index or federal minimum wage increases with proper documentation.
