Biotech Research, Clinical Diagnostics, and Equipment Catalog

The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio is seeking suppliers to establish a new contract for the provision of biotech research, clinical diagnostics, and equipment through a solicitation numbered 745-26-P19, with responses due by June 4, 2026. The scope of work centers on delivering products and services that meet stringent security, accessibility, and compliance standards, including adherence to WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA guidelines, ADA regulations, ISO 27005 for information security risk management, and Texas state requirements under 1 TAC Chapter 213. Contractors must support electronic procurement through punchout catalogs integrated into the University’s eProcurement system and ensure full compliance with federal and state accessibility, privacy, and data security laws. The contract does not guarantee any minimum or maximum volume of purchases, and the University reserves the right to award multiple contracts. Evaluation of proposals will be based on a trade-off approach weighing cost of goods and services equally with the proposer’s reputation, quality of offerings, ability to meet institutional needs, past relationship with the University, exceptions to terms, and value-added contributions, totaling 90 points across seven criteria. Special requirements include mandatory submission of a Historically Underutilized Business subcontracting plan with a 0.11% participation goal, strict adherence to prohibitions on using covered telecommunications equipment under 2 CFR §200.216, and compliance with Texas and federal non-discrimination, anti-boycott, and vaccine mandate restrictions. Contractors must provide accessibility conformance reports, risk assessments, Texas-RAMP or FedRAMP documentation, and validate that no subcontractors or personnel are on the OIG exclusion list. All deliverables must be accessible, secure, and functionally compliant with Exhibit C specifications, with the University retaining audit rights and the authority to terminate contracts for noncompliance. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Euna Procurement Portal in individually uploaded files, with no paper or email submissions permitted, and must include complete representations and certifications on entity status, socioeconomic intent, and legal compliance, although no formal UEI, CAGE, or size status certifications are required from offerors. Payment will be processed via ACH, invoices must include HUB subcontracting progress reports, and all records must be retained for at least four years post-termination in accordance with Texas law and federal audit requirements. The place of performance is the University’s campus at 7703 Floyd Curl Drive in
