This is a Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) state solicitation posted on April 10, 2026, with a deadline for proposal submission on April 27, 2026. While the specific procurement type and detailed scope of work are not fully accessible due to a corrupted terms and conditions document, the solicitation includes a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan, indicating this is likely a significant state contract. Interested bidders are required to register with the designated TDCJ contact person by providing their name, phone number, and email address to receive all solicitation amendments and modifications. All amendments will be posted on the Electronic State Business Daily, and bidders bear responsibility for confirming receipt of amendments prior to the April 27, 2026 closing date. The TDCJ assumes no liability for bidders' failure to receive amendments or modifications if contact information has not been provided. Bidders are strongly advised to contact the agency before the deadline to verify they have received all applicable solicitation documents.

The contract includes mandatory HUB participation requirements, establishing a subcontracting plan that sets specific percentage targets for participation by certified Historically Underutilized Businesses, including African American-owned, Hispanic American-owned, Native American-owned, Asian Pacific American-owned, and Service-Disabled Veteran-owned enterprises. All subcontractors must be verified HUB-certified by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts or hold equivalent certification status. The successful contractor is required to submit quarterly reports documenting actual HUB subcontractor utilization and spending, with failure to meet established participation goals without documented good faith efforts potentially resulting in contract penalties or non-renewal. The contractor must demonstrate measurable outreach efforts such as advertising in targeted publications, attending HUB forums, and maintaining relationships with HUB-certified vendors. Award value and specific budget information are not available in the accessible documentation, though the size and complexity of the HUB subcontracting plan suggest this is a substantive procurement requiring significant vendor engagement.
