Richmond SSLC seeks Wound Care Specialist

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to establish a contract for Wound Care Services for the residents of the Richmond State Supported Living Center (RSSLC). HHSC is seeking a qualified Wound Care provider to deliver specialized treatment and management of pressure ulcers, infected wounds, injury wounds, and other wounds that have failed improvement with primary care. The selected contractor will be required to provide these services on a routine schedule or as needed, complete documentation, and provide training to RSSLC healthcare staff. The initial contract term will be from the date of award through August 31, 2024, with no renewal options. Bidders must submit hourly rates for services during regular and outside regular hours, as well as provide proof of licenses, completed affirmations, references, qualifications, and other required documents by the June 18, 2024 deadline. The contract will be awarded based on best value, considering responsiveness to requirements, ability to meet performance, and price.

This solicitation does not include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent provider is not identified, and there are no details provided on previous spending or pricing. HHSC has determined that subcontracting opportunities are likely under this contract, so all respondents must submit a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan. The contract will be awarded under Texas Government Code 2155.144 for client services, and funding will come from the state's general revenue.
