The Health and Human Services Commission of Texas is seeking bids for 5,000 licenses of BitRaser Drive Eraser software and 25 BitRaser USB sets under solicitation HHS0017219, with a response deadline of May 21, 2026. The contract, effective June 1, 2026, has an initial one-year term with an option to renew for an additional year and a discretionary extension of up to one more year. Deliveries are to be made to the HHS Commission’s primary location at 701 W 51st Street, Austin, TX, with potential performance at other HHS sites across Texas. Bidders must submit pricing through Exhibit C, though current pricing details are not provided, and the total contract value cannot be determined. The evaluation process prioritizes compliance with specifications, the bidder’s ability to meet delivery requirements, and price, with award based on best value rather than lowest price alone. Bidders must hold a valid SAM.gov Unique Entity ID, comply with E-Verify requirements, and certify they do not boycott Israel or engage in abortion-related activities if applicable. Insurance must name HHS as an additional insured with waiver of subrogation, and subcontractors must adhere to the same terms. Personnel must follow strict conduct rules, including prohibition of drugs and smoking, mandatory uniforms, and ID badges. The contractor cannot assign duties without approval, must comply with Texas public information laws, and may face termination for violations. Responses must be submitted via email under 25 MB, through the HHS Online Bid Room, or by USB drive to a designated Austin address, using only approved file formats, with signed documents in PDF. All bidders must complete Exhibits A and C and provide a Public Information Act copy with redactions if needed, while disclosing any legal actions, prior state employment, or felony convictions that could impact performance.
