The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Procurement and Contracting Services division, is requesting bids for dental services at San Angelo State Supported Living Center (11640 US Highway 87 North, Carlsbad, Texas) under IFB HHS0018063, with responses due October 26, 2026 at 10:30 AM Central Time. Questions closed October 14, 2026; responses to questions were posted as an addendum October 16, 2026. No HUB set-aside is required, though HUB subcontracting plans are encouraged.

The scope encompasses comprehensive dental exams, limited exams, consultations, radiographs, periodontal services (preventative, deep scaling, root planning), extractions, crown procedures and crown lengthening, biopsies, and denture and pathology services. Services must be performed off-facility within 25 miles of San Angelo SSLC, Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time, with four-hour response for service calls and one-hour response for emergencies. Pricing is firm, fixed hourly rates (regular and outside regular hours) for the entire contract term with no automatic volume guarantees, submitted on Exhibit C with acceptable bids ranging from $0.00 to $200,000.00 per hour.

Bidders must hold five years of relevant dental experience; current Texas State Dental Board License with annual Registration Certificate; current DEA registration; current dental licenses for ancillary personnel; and current CPR certification. Three verifiable references for similar contracts within the last five years are required.

The initial contract term runs through August 31, 2027, with no renewal options; HHSC reserves the right to extend up to one additional year.

Bidders must complete Exhibit A Affirmations, Exhibit C Pricing Sheet, and Exhibit D Bidder References; failure to submit Affirmations and Pricing Sheet results in disqualification. The contract is subject to appropriations and availability of funds.
