Epignosis TalentLMS Subscription

The Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR), on behalf of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TXDMV), issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) on February 13, 2026, for a TalentLMS Enterprise Annual subscription cloud-based Learning Management System license. The procurement seeks to support 5,500 users for creating, delivering, and managing online training. Responses were due by March 2, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. CT, with an anticipated award date on or after March 3, 2026. The contract will commence on the date of award and remain in effect for 12 months, with DIR holding a one-year renewal option at its sole discretion. All respondents must submit pricing for the TalentLMS Enterprise Annual plan for 5,500 users in the specified format, provide an Accessibility Conformance Report using the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT 2.4), complete the Policy Driven Adoption for Accessibility (PDAA) Self-Assessment Questionnaire, submit a W-9 form, proof of authorized reseller status if applicable, and various compliance certifications. DIR reserves the right to award based on best value, lowest line-item price, or any combination serving DIR's best interest, with evaluation conducted on pass/fail criteria related to subcontracting plans, vendor performance, and accessibility compliance.

Respondents with a bid value of $100,000 or more must submit a completed and signed Subcontracting Plan with a subcontracting goal of 21.1%, indicating a set-aside requirement for small and disadvantaged business enterprises. All vendors must comply with Texas Government Code requirements, including prohibitions on boycotting Israel and energy companies, maintenance of a drug-free workplace, completion of cybersecurity training, and E-Verify employment verification. The contract terms, governed by DIR's Standard Terms and Conditions, establish that all work product is owned exclusively by DIR, respondents maintain independent contractor status, and payment follows Texas Government Code Chapter 2251 with invoices due thirty days after receipt or service completion. No incumbent vendor information or specific budget range is disclosed in the solicitation documents; however, the specification of a subcontracting goal suggests anticipated contract value exceeding the $100,000 threshold for small business participation requirements.
