About this opportunity
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), on behalf of the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), is seeking qualified entities to provide landline telephone and cellular telephone survey services for the Texas Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). The BRFSS is an annual survey that collects data on health-related risk behaviors, chronic conditions, and use of preventive health services from non-institutionalized adult Texas residents. The initial contract term is one year, with the option for HHSC or DSHS to extend the contract for up to four additional one-year renewals. Respondents must have a minimum of five years' experience providing large, statewide, population-based, randomized-digit-dialed surveys, and a minimum of three years' experience providing BRFSS-specific, randomized-digit-dialed surveys. The RFP outlines project deliverables, performance measures, and acceptance criteria. An optional pre-proposal conference is scheduled for January 17, 2023, and the deadline for submission of proposals is February 26, 2024 by 10:30 a.m. Central Time.
The RFP does not provide any details on set-asides or incumbents. It notes that historical compensation under similar contracts has ranged from approximately $906,972 per fiscal year, but HHSC or DSHS reserves the right to adjust any projected amount based on state funding during the term of the resulting contract. The Texas BRFSS is an important tool for decision-making throughout DSHS and the public health community, and the surveys may be expanded to include other data collection methods, such as SMS notifications/text messaging or web-based questionnaires, in the future.

Scope of Work
The Texas BRFSS, initiated in 1987, is a cooperative effort between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the DSHS BRFSS Program.

In upcoming years during the proposed Contract Term, the CDC and DSHS may be expanding surveys utilizing other methods of data collection to include but not limited to SMS notifications/text messaging or web-based questionnaires. Amount of surveys will vary per year.
