Responses are due by December 20, 2023, at 12:00 pm, and the TXRC selection committee will evaluate the submittals based on demonstrated competence and qualifications, with 25% determined by the respondent's experience in regulating horse racing, 25% by experience in equine practice, 10% by other veterinary practice experience, and 40% by skills shown during a face-to-face interview with the Chief Veterinary Medical Director.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond.
