OneAegis Subscription-DSHS

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. HHS0016000 for the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) seeking competitive bids for an annual OneAegis Subscription. The procurement covers a comprehensive software subscription including an annual base fee for up to 100 new submissions, Federated Identity/Single Sign On, Sandbox Environment, and Single Sign On Sandbox. Key procurement dates include May 16, 2025, as the deadline for submitting questions, with final bids due on May 28, 2025, at 10:30 AM. The initial contract term will commence on the award date and expire on April 30, 2026, with options for two additional 1-year renewals through April 30, 2028. Evaluation criteria will focus on best value to the state, considering factors such as meeting specifications, performance capabilities, and pricing. HHSC reserves the right to make single or multiple awards to achieve optimal value, with all awards subject to approval by the HHSC Executive Commissioner or designee.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. The historical spend for similar services is $26,233.13 for the period May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025, which provides insight into the potential contract value. Pricing must be firm and fixed for the entire contract duration and submitted using the provided Pricing Sheet, which should include all associated expenses. While no incumbent vendors are specifically identified in the available documentation, the procurement suggests a continued need for software subscription services supporting identity management and access control. The contract appears to be structured to provide flexibility for the state, with the ability to potentially award to multiple vendors and secure renewal options for up to two additional years. Interested vendors will need to carefully review the full solicitation documents, particularly the Exhibits A-D referenced in the attached zip file, to fully understand the detailed requirements and submission specifications.
