The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB No. HHS0015665) for window, door, and glass repairs at the Corpus Christi State Supported Living Center (CCSSLC), located in Orange County. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide as-needed glass maintenance and repairs, including replacement of various glass types such as obscured, laminated, tempered, and insulated glass for windows, doors, and sliding doors. Contractors must provide detailed estimates for each repair or replacement project, with a markup on parts not exceeding 20%, and demonstrate comprehensive qualifications including background checks, insurance coverage, and compliance with state and federal regulations. The bid was posted on May 20, 2025, with responses due by June 11, 2025, at 10:30 AM, and the initial contract term will run from award through August 31, 2025, with two potential one-year renewal options for a maximum contract period of three years. Evaluation criteria will likely include pricing, HUB subcontracting plan compliance, contractor qualifications, and ability to meet technical specifications outlined in the solicitation documents.

The solicitation includes a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan with a 32.9% utilization goal for special trades contracts, encouraging participation from businesses owned by economically disadvantaged groups, including Asian-Pacific Americans, Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, women, and service-disabled veterans. Respondents must submit a completed HUB Subcontracting Plan and demonstrate good faith efforts to subcontract with certified HUB vendors, with potential consequences for non-compliance including being deemed non-responsive and possible debarment from state contracting for up to five years. The historical spend for similar services is $45,450 for the period from September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2024, and the contract is structured as a requirements contract with no guaranteed volume of work. Contractors must complete mandatory documentation including Solicitation Affirmations, Pricing Sheet, HUB Subcontracting Plan, and Bidder Reference Form, with failure to submit certain documents resulting in bid disqualification. The procurement requires contractors to provide at least three verifiable references for similar contracts and demonstrate operational capacity through detailed company information and qualifications.
