Proposers must demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience, provide three business references, and comply with E-Verify and confidentiality standards.

HCPS encourages participation from small businesses and diverse vendors, with optional self-identification opportunities for small/local businesses, service-disabled veterans, and minority-owned enterprises. The procurement includes provisions for African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, and other diverse business classifications. The contract is valued at approximately $700,000 for the initial term, with potential automatic renewals for up to four additional one-year periods.
