Mop Supply & Delivery Pickup Services at Corpus Christi State Supported Living Center (CCSSLC)

The Health and Human Services Commission of Texas is seeking bids for mop supply and delivery pickup services at the Corpus Christi State Supported Living Center under solicitation HHS0017571V3, with responses due by August 13, 2026, and an anticipated contract start date of September 1, 2026. The contract, governed by Texas state procurement rules rather than federal FAR clauses, will have an initial term from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with a potential one-year extension at the agency’s discretion. Bidders must submit a complete package via email, the HHS Online Bid Room, or in-person delivery, using approved electronic formats such as Word, Excel, and PDF, with all materials confined to a single USB drive for physical submissions. The solicitation requires comprehensive documentation including affirmations, insurance certificates, pricing details, contractor qualifications, and a Texas Identification Number application. Evaluation will follow a best value approach, weighing technical compliance, past performance, financial capacity, operational capability, and price — with award not guaranteed to the lowest bidder. Contractors must provide all labor, equipment, and materials necessary to perform services at the specified location, with personnel subject to statewide criminal and sex offender background checks, E-Verify verification, uniform and badge requirements, and strict prohibitions on drugs, visitors, and unapproved staff. Insurance must meet Texas-specific standards, including occurrence-based coverage, A.M. Best A-rating, additional insured status for HHS, and waiver of subrogation. Invoicing is manual, tied to purchase order numbers and exhibit-based pricing, with payment governed by the Texas Prompt Payment Act and processed through the state’s vendor system requiring a valid Texas Identification Number. The contract allows for modification of service locations with 30 days’ notice and includes requirements for 24-hour emergency contact, record retention, and public information act compliance with proper redaction of confidential data.
