No hardware, software products, or reseller arrangements are permitted under this agreement. Services must be delivered using Agile methodology, with outputs defined per sprint and aligned with customer-defined Statements of Work. All deliverables must comply with accessibility standards including WCAG 2.0 AA and Texas Government Code §2054, TAC §206, and TAC §213, and require submission of a Vendor Accessibility Policy Assessment and Vendor Accessibility Development Services Information Request. The contract supports use by Texas state and local governments, public education entities, and other public organizations both within and outside Texas. Evaluation for award is based on a weighted trade-off model prioritizing technical merit over price, with 60% weight assigned to respondent history and experience—verified through three reference forms scored on a 0 to 3 scale—and 40% to the marketing and customer support plan detailed in Exhibit C. Mandatory pass/fail criteria include financial stability, evidenced by a Dun & Bradstreet SER score of 1–7; completion of a HUB Subcontracting Plan aligned with Texas HUB goals of 23.7% for professional services and 26.0% for other services; a minimum vendor performance system score of “C”; and proof of at least five years of experience for application development roles or three years for all other categories. The contract includes internal Texas DIR clauses governing intellectual property, prior disaster violations, suspension and debarment, and prohibitions against false statements or boycotts of Israel. Subcontracting to HUBs requires strict tracking, approval, and disclosure, with new HUB relationships under five years eligible to count toward goals. Performance locations are undefined and determined per SOW, with possible onsite, hybrid, or offshore models, subject to Texas data requirements.
