REMISOL Advance Software Services

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is soliciting bids for REMISOL Advance software services through Invitation for Bids HHS0016453_V5, with a response deadline of May 6, 2026. The solicitation requires bidders to submit a complete response package via USB drive enclosed in a properly labeled and sealed container, with no hard copies accepted. The package must include Exhibits A through E and E-1, covering affirmations, contractual terms, pricing, qualifications, and bid room information. The contract has a one-year base term with up to four optional one-year renewals and a potential one-year extension, performance of which will occur at HHS Agency facilities across Texas, including those operated by HHSC and DSHS. All personnel must undergo state-level criminal and sex offender background checks, including verification of social security numbers and review of out-of-state residency records over the past seven years, with disqualification for convictions related to sex offenses, abuse, or fraud. Misdemeanor convictions require prior written approval for assignment. Contractors must use E-Verify for all employees and ensure personnel have five or more years of relevant experience, appropriate licenses, and the ability to communicate in English. The evaluation process prioritizes compliance with all technical and performance specifications, followed by an assessment of the bidder’s past performance using the Vendor Performance Tracking System, where a grade below "C" may result in disqualification, and the ability to demonstrate financial solvency and operational capacity. Price is evaluated only after technical and performance qualifications are met, and award will be made based on best value to the state, not solely on lowest cost, in accordance with Texas Government Code provisions. Invoicing must be submitted monthly, referencing the contract number and detailed work performed, with payments governed by the Texas Prompt Payment Act. No specific federal acquisition regulation clauses are incorporated; instead, HHSC relies on its own uniform terms and conditions. Security requirements include strict prohibitions on intoxicants or illegal drugs while on duty, and contractors are responsible for all packaging integrity and transit risks. Submitting the full proposal through the HHS Online Bid Room, by email to pcbsids@hhs.texas.gov, or via designated delivery addresses is mandatory, with all documents required in Microsoft Office or PDF formats, file sizes limited to 25 MB per attachment, and no external links permitted.
