FY26-01 Legal Services

The North East Texas Workforce Development Board, operating as Workforce Solutions Northeast Texas, is seeking legal services through a Request for Quotes numbered FY26-01, with proposals due by 4:00 PM Central Time on June 30, 2026. The purpose is to establish engagement letters for legal support on an as-needed basis from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031, primarily to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations governing subrecipients of grant awards. Legal services will encompass reviewing and drafting contracts with awardees, employment-related documents, lease agreements, and letters of agreement, requiring expertise in business and contract law. Offerors must demonstrate their ability to meet these service needs through a responsive proposal that includes a detailed firm description highlighting primary practice focus, representative clients, years in operation, and the specific staff assigned to handle Board matters. Pricing must be submitted in the form of a fee schedule that breaks down hourly rates for partners, associates, and legal clerks, discloses incidental charges, and indicates whether a retainer fee will be required. Evaluation will be based first on responsiveness, with non-responsive proposals disqualified, and then on best value, with cost serving as the primary factor in selection following responsiveness confirmation. Submissions must be emailed to bids@netxworks.org, and the contracting office is located in Wake Village, Texas, with administrative inquiries directed to Kaylee Price or Kiann Richardson. The action falls under NAICS code 541110 and is issued by a state and local government entity with no set-aside designation.
