Pricing must be firm and fixed using Exhibit C, with all unit prices inclusive of labor, equipment, materials, supplies, and related expenses. Price adjustments are not automatic and may be permitted only at HHSC's sole discretion, correlated with the Consumer Price Index per a specified formula. Contractors may request adjustments based on federal minimum wage increases or offer voluntary decreases at any time.

All responses must include completed Exhibit A (HHS Solicitation Affirmations) and Exhibit C (Pricing Sheet) to avoid disqualification.

Evaluation criteria emphasize compliance with IFB requirements, ability to meet performance delivery requirements, and pricing.

Late submissions will not be accepted.
