Open Enrollment for Polygraph Services for Civilly Committed Sex Offenders

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), on behalf of the Texas Civil Commitment Office (TCCO), is seeking applications through an open enrollment to establish contracts for polygraph services for civilly committed sex offenders. The open enrollment is focused on providing a range of polygraph examinations, including instant offense, sexual history, maintenance, and monitoring examinations, for TCCO's sexually violent predator clients across Texas, with a particular focus on the Dallas, El Paso, Harris, Tarrant, Travis, and McLennan counties. Applicants must have at least one year of relevant experience performing post-conviction sex offender testing and be recognized by the Joint Polygraph Committee on Offender Testing. The contracts will be paid on a fee-for-service basis utilizing the rates set forth in the open enrollment. The open enrollment will remain open through August 31, 2027, with TCCO reserving the right to extend the closing date.

The open enrollment allows both governmental and non-governmental entities to apply. TCCO may award multiple contracts under this open enrollment, but does not guarantee any volume, usage, or compensation, as the contracts are subject to the availability of funds and termination. The solicitation documents do not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions, nor do they list any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The total award value or budget range for this open enrollment is also not provided in the available documentation.
